Cheerful staff, clean room, good service, Wi-Fi reception is very poor around whole building, took 5 hours until we eventually got connected. Hotel does not offer Any gluten free options for breakfast, no cereals no toast, but to be fair the Jockey Breakfast was superb, overall my stay was disappointing.
