the staff was friendly and the breakfast was great.

the room felt quite small, especially considering it was supposed to be a kingsize family room (i think it was more like a standard double). there wasn't a chair either, so it was awkward to have a cup of tea. also, one side of the bed didn't have a bedside table, inconvenient for keeping my phone.
