Loved the room! Had a warm feeling to it, staff were friendly and efficient. The bed was extremely comfortable, complimentary elements were definitely a treat. Loved the breakfast, so yummy! Consistently refilled as well. Only negatives were that one of the bath robes looked like it had a cigarette hole in it and bathroom extractor fan did not work, so it got very hot in there and the walls and ceiling got very wet. It was still so pleasant, we will be back soon :)
