Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is getting a makeover and we were lucky enough to score one of the refurbished rooms which was excellent down to the huge smart TV. Very comfortable, very high bed. Complementary toiletries. Sadly the great new shower didnt have anywhere to put your soap or shampoo bottle and the lack of door or curtain meant you had to be a little careful with the water. Otherwise and excellent room for a short stay. The txt with room no and key code also a great idea to expedite checkin.
