Room very good for one or two nights. Smallish but spotless. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was haphazard, out of control. Tables left uncleared. Buffet food not topped up. In the end, we didn't bother and went for a McDs instead!!!

Great staff! Great location. Not great in the laundry area. Only two washing machines and one dryer- that was bad. We booked this for that option and had to waste an entire evening of our trip getting a turn. Needs major improvements in size of this area and number of machines

Great breakfast, great selections of drinks, super comfy bed. The WhatsApp communication wasn't very effective. Waited 1 hour for some towels and ended up going downstairs and having to grab them myself.
