Nice big room with great big bed, but poor lighting made it very dark in the evening. Nice big bathroom, but the cold tap was explosive sending water across the floor. Bar was below our room and was VERY noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. No extractor fan in bathroom. Staff were very nice and food was good too.
