Great location. Staff were very helpful, managed to get an early check in, room was clean - bathroom a little dated but not an issue. Walls were quite thin so could here conversations of room next door. Great location. Staff were very helpful, managed to get an early check in, room was clean. One minor thing - booked a family room so would have expected more than 2 bottles of water in room - apart from that all good!
