I returned for graduation at the university campus and was recignised and given a very warm welcome. All my guests and i had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, clean rooms, well stocked tea and coffee with water fountains close by. Great to easily charge my EV, at a very reasonable cost. Breakfast catered for all of our various dietary requirements.
