It was a very clean room and bathroom tiled from ceiling to floor very tasteful. Bed extremely clean and comfortable. Having the hotel next door was a winner for us as we didn’t need to go and find somewhere to eat. Which by the way the meal was lovely with very kind staff. Highly recommend

Very clean and modern rooms. Bit pricey but they do offer 2 free drinks and 10% off your meal at the restaurant. Nice sweets in the rooms as well as tea and coffee, milk and water bottles. Only negative was the noise from the other guests. Rooms aren’t well insulated so I didn’t appreciate the neighbours slamming doors, etc.
