Had a lovely stay but the curtains are not ideal as they do not cover the windows properly. We were in a corner room so had two windows - we also had a neon sign outside so there was constant light in our room and it was misleading when we woke during the night Breakfast was lovely - great variety Staff very polity and helpful Would definitely return but would bring eye mask
