Staff very helpful. Parking laborious and not suitable for accessibility. Especially if on wheels as several curbs without drops in them. Toilet facilities at check-in are poor and through heavy doors. (Resulting in mishap) Room very clean, amazing bathroom. Totally accessible. No noise overnight. Breakfast surpassed expectations. Would consider using again.
