What a fantastic stay. The team made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond with their service. The rooms are great, clean with updated bathrooms, mini fridge, multiple USB charging points, desk, draws and the hotel theme subtley carried through. The kids (16!) loved the toy cars and stickers given to them by Joe as well as the Lego on display in reception. Breakfast was a good selection. The staff really made this stay. Thank you
