The hotel had ample free on-site parking, I thought that was great! I also found the room to be very clean and modern with included tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast and dinner choices were of good value and quality, I must say.

The breakfast had a good location when visiting for football.

The shower did not function correctly. It was either too hot or completely off. The bar area was busy, yet no one seemed to be actively managing things.
