Uninspiring surroundings did not negate the fact that the Hotel was very practical and well-kept/clean, with the bedroom roomy enough for a child's cot, and plenty of surfaces to fill up with baby clutter and clothes. The bed was large, clean, and comfortable, which was very welcome following a long drive. Plentiful hot water, an anteroom between the corridor and the sleeping baby, and a fast lift between our third floor room and the secure subterranean carpark and reception were all positive. The staff at reception/check-in (man, striped shirt, glasses, medium length hair) was helpful and made good eye contact. The only downside was waiting for attention at the desk when it was busy (5 minutes or so) but overall would recommend and visit again.
