nespresso coffee maker homemade cookies en-suite bathroom

The room included a nespresso coffee maker and homemade cookies. the en-suite bathroom was good. Toiletries were very nice. drinks at the bar were reasonably priced, i thought.

Parking proved difficult! three spaces were at the rear, one taken by a skip. On-street parking was hit and miss.

Parking was difficult. There were only three spaces at the rear, and one was occupied by a skip. on-street parking was hit and miss. it's not the hotel's fault but still, it was difficult.
