Family-Friendly: Kids stay and eat free

“This property strikes me as a smart choice for those needing flexible meeting spaces and easy access off the A1. I noted the vintage-style lobby, a refreshing alternative to standard business hotels, and the option for free kids' meals certainly eases family travel, even though I read about noise issues during a school trip stay. While some rooms may face parking areas, the king-size beds and varied pillow options ultimately point to a focus on guest comfort.”
