Bed was very comfortable. I slept really well. Only problem with the room was a bit short on the tea and coffee supplies. 4 little sealed pots of milk do not go far enough. Breakfast was good for me although the coffee was dreadful. I would stay here again. The staff are really great.

I think for the rating and price, some updates to the rooms need to be made. The room entry doors do not meet the floor meaning you can hear others in their rooms constantly, and there's a draft. No way to control temperature in the rooms, and the curtains were dirty and decor quite old.

The trek to our room was bad. We took the lift. Good. Then....we had to transverse a long corridor, then through anothher door, up a short flight of stairs, then another corridor! Maybe invest in another lift? Breakfast was Excellent - and plentiful. Our room was very nice. Breakfast staff were good.
