Excellent large sized airy room.However the room was not serviced the whole of our 4 day stay. (hotel policy.) Whilst this added to our privacy, we had to ask for tea and coffee refills.and toilet paper etc.This should be the minimum daily service. Staff however were friendly and helpful.

Rooms could do with a bit of a refresh but mine was perfectly clean and huge. Bed was really comfortable and temperature was comfortable…there was an additional heater if you needed it. Had a mini fridge which was good (ice machine in the corridor). Only odd thing was that there were no plug sockets anywhere around the bed(s) so had to leave phone charging over the other side of the room.
