spacious roomcomfortable bedrude man
The staff was polite and professional. Our rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. We enjoyed all the food at the hotel. We dined in the restaurant and bar.
The man at reception was quite rude. He refused to book another person into a room after 12 o'clock at night. He kept insisting it would not be possible.
