Friendly Staff. I did have an issue with the TV turning on in the middle of the night by itself and the Manager let me have 5 free Breakfasts to compensate this. This is an excellent service when things go wrong.

Room was fine. Bathroom dated and seals in shower needed replacement. Beds were very comfortable with immaculate sheets and the towels were also sparklingly clean. However the walls are very thin. We were woken in the early hours by one neighbor and at 6 30 by another one.we have stayed on 3 occasions but I don't think we would stay again
