"Room was nice and spacious. Bath and shower were nice too. Kettle, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuit provide. Hangers, hairdryer and safe. Staff were welcoming and friendly - highlight of the stay. The lobby and bar were nice too. The lobby also smelt beautiful! The only downside for me was that the fan kept coming on through the night even though I turned it off multiple times and it was so hot and the bed was rock solid which I found uncomfortable"

"The room was clean although the bathroom smelled musty as the vent fan did not appear to woek. In addition there was no air-conditioning to help extract the air from the room. The shuttle to and from the airport terminal was a great bonus in helping us make our 6.00am flight."
