Decent bed and shower, nice enough staff, and overall an average hotel stay. I’m giving it three stars because I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast. I had higher expectations when it said breakfast was included, but there was very little available. The selection was really small and there was hardly anything to choose from. The breakfast buffet definitely needs improvement. That said, the stay itself wasn’t bad overall.

Lovely staff, a few problems with the room but the staff swiftly sorted that out. Also had a miscommunication about timing of breakfast which meant I then missed it, however the staff kindly got me some fruit and yoghurt.

Staff were friendly and downstairs space looked fab! I’d say the room itself needed updating. The bathroom floors were sticky with maybe something spilt from the stay before? The shower gel on the wall was empty but was a tiny bit to use luckily. Bed was comfortable and overall a good stay.
