The location was ideal. It's right in the middle of everything. the room was clean and inviting. Blackout curtains were present, too.
The directions to the parking lot were confusing. the hotel needs to give better directions i feel, when you turn down the road to the carpark, you go through what looks like m&s loading bay. Go through, and it's at the bottom.
