After a bit of a dodgy start with booking a river view room and getting a room with windows in the roof area that you couldn’t see out of, unless you were six foot tall! Also the blinds were screwed down so no natural light at all. Went back to reception and complained. Quickly sorted out and given the room we booked. Room very clean and spacious
