"For what we paid, were quite happy with our stay. Was an overnight stay as our flight was in the morning. Could not fault staff or our meals in the lovely refurbished bistro. Rooms could do with a makeover though. Looking very tired. The room was very small, but again, for the price, not complaining. It suited our needs. 10% off our meals was an unexpected bonus. Would stay again but would like to see some upgrades to rooms."
