6/10

It was fine. The room was comfortable enough and the bed was good. The check in was disappointing as the staff member got my name wrong, twice and didn’t offer breakfast or explain any amenities or the wifi or ask if I’d parked in the car park. It’s also not in the nicest part of town but it was quiet enough.
