Annie greeted me so warmly upon arrival. the king suite included a waterbed. I found it comfortable. the room came with dressing gowns, slippers and complimentary prosecco in the fridge.
the tiled floors throughout the building do mean you can sometimes hear other guests (it's not a big deal though!).
