no hot chocolate cheap products
the breakfast was a really nice start to the morning, and the public spaces smelt clean when we arrived.
i was disappointed there was no hot chocolate in the rooms, it is my favourite hot drink. i understand they had coffee and tea though. also, the extra dove shampoo was nice, but there were no other products.

really great stay!

nice ambient good selection easy wifi short distance
The room temperature was nice. It was a hot day. i arrived and there was a fan in the room, switched on and cooling it. there was a good selection of toiletries. There was a tissue dispenser. wifi connection was super easy and i slept well. eating places were a short walk away.
The pillow was firm, not soft. the bed was hard and i needed a mattress topper. i woke up with back ache. It was a slight negative.

surprisingly lovely stay!

open bar spacious area helpful staff excellent facilities
I found the bar open late. It had a good selection. the dining area was spacious with free tea and coffee always available, lovely. check-in was seamless. there were plenty of helpful staff around, always a plus. the room had excellent facilities including tea and coffee supplies, an iron with ironing board. a hairdryer, so we could prepare for our day.
the bedsheets seemed a little worn. this was minor, but worth mentioning for maintaining great standards.
