The hotel was easy to locate. I found plenty of off-street parking. The bed provided a comfortable sleep.
The carpet had large, reddish stains. I found this off-putting. The shower water ran onto the bathroom floor, requiring towels to stop flooding. The traffic noise from the A1 was loud, even with the window closed.
