modern and clean stay
modern accommodationclean spaceattentive staffdouble shower
the accommodation was modern. it was clean and up to spec. the restaurant was reached through staff only signs on doors. it provided really good food in a modern family setting with attentive staff. the communal kitchen area was a plus. i found the double shower large and modern.
the bedroom faced the main road. it was very noisy. i could still hear the traffic despite wearing earplugs. i had very little sleep for the two nights.

The room was really clean. I appreciated the comfortable mattress. The staff were helpful with bike storage, I am grateful. The en suite was stylish.
Breakfast provision was not great. I noticed it was not checked often enough. The toaster seemed a bit dodgy, I bought my own muesli.
