Great location, room was comfy, loved that there were frozen ice cubes in freezer. Bed and sheets were great. Towles nice and fluffy. Enjoyed stay. Suggestion, maybe fill water jug (in cupboard) and pop in fridge for cold water on arrival. Room did need a little bit of paint here and there. Pillows need replacing.

Thanks for your feedback. This past week was noisy with a local event and many drivers making lots of noise on the Strand. This unfortunately happens with many events. Also lots of children in the pool keeping us busy repeatedly asking them to keep the noise down.

The lady servicing the counter (sorry didn’t get her name) was extremely helpful. Rooms were clean, Only bad thing was that only one lift was operating due to the other being repaired.
