We booked a queen room but once checked in and went to our room. We had been given a twin bed room. Not very helpful for a couple with a young baby. We did however get given an upgrade by the young fellow on reception which was appreciated. The other negative was there was a lot of dust built up in corners of room and bathroom vent. The heater also didn’t work properly and was very cold throughout the night. Would probably not stay here again unless improvements are made
