Had a problem with the first room allocated, staff were very apologetic and rectified the problem immediately. Room was spacious, clean but starting to show age in parts.

Dakota Newcastle
Nice condition but suite was very small and next to nothing in the mini bar. Wasn’t refilled after day 1 of a 2 night stay Not great value for money. Tiny bottle of body wash provided for 2 people for 2 nights. Felt a bit stingy on the extras.
