Felt like home from home. Also very good location, For us there was a little problem with parking all though we got very lucky every time. (It's very busy and spaces where limted but parking permits definitely help) We will be back in the future I'm sure.

The kingsize bed was so comfy! The shower was a bit temperamental going hot and cold but we could deal with that! The location was perfect! Would definitely book again!
