the parking situation wasn't ideal the parking spaces to the rear of the hotel are quite spacious however some guests did not park within the lines this caused some issues it costs £10 per car per day with payment required upfront it felt expensive considering other nearby options also the apartment smelled strongly of damp upon entering this was despite the otherwise clean appearance and i did not find that very cute.
