Good hotel

One night stay for a business trip and arrived quite late so restaurant and bar were already closed. Early start so did not stop for breakfast so not able to comment on the food. Room was ok, comfortable and had the usual facilities. Very helpful young lady on reception who lent me a phone charger as I had left mine behind.
