The room was the smallest room they had which was explained to us as we collected our key (6pm) and when we entered we could not believe how much they had fitted into the room, it was cosy but very comfortable, fridge, kitchenette, big bathroom, secure parking and the internet was great - there was Netflix on the TV - we headed out to dinner after seeing all of the recommendations that were available from the front desk or in the guide book provided in the room - very quiet and very lovely stay - we deffo stay again !!

Nothing!

Really clean room. Everything was thought of - tvs in different rooms, electric blankets in all the beds, nice set up for a family, could park the car right outside.

To be honest, nothing.

The room was very clean and enjoyed the option of netflix to use. Beds had electric blankets to keep you warm and the heater worked well for a cold night. Shower had plenty of pressure.

The decor is a bit tired and would look good with a refresh, but in saying that the price was reasonable for what is there.
