friendly staffenormous bedovercooked breakfasttea amount
the staff were friendly. the bed was enormous and long enough for my tall husband! i found this so considerate.
breakfast was very overcooked. it seems like it was left under the heaters too long. the room was lacking enough teas and coffees, i missed my usual morning brew.

gluten free optionssofa bed delaylack of bedding
the location was acceptable for my needs. the breakfast had gluten free options.
i booked a family room, i received a double room with a sofa. it wasn't ideal because i had to wait for bedding before the sofa bed was ready. this took far too long, and it really frustrated me, especially with tired kids wanting to get to sleep.
