Great location
Lovely room and great location. Room service for snacks was limited late at night and expensive. No biscuits supplied with coffee facilités or mini bar snacks. Parking was very expensive.

The bed was too soft and the gap between the 2 beds to make it a Queen or King kept widening during the night, so very uncomfortable.

Highly recommended
What a wonderful place to stay,
Easy check in with professional and friendly staff.
Buffet breakfast was delicious and worth the money.
The room was tidy with all the amenities needed.
The convenience was great. The staff were amazing. Breakfast was handy and smooth running. My only pain point was that my ‘king’ bed was two single pushed together which meant sleeping in the middle of the king bed wasn’t what I was expecting I paid for…
