Very good
We verify reviews to ensure the traveller booked with Expedia Group. Travellers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
Loved the bed. Understand that cleaning and servicing of rooms not done because of covid.
Shower over bath an accident waiting to happen.
Unable to get late checkout because hotel closing down.Were not aware this was happening until evening before
We booked a twin room for our daughter and my husband.
The bed was only a double and quite small to fit a couple in.
Felt that the staff should have let us know the bed size.
Place was clean and tidy and staff friendly.
Breakfast was not as good as our last stay with variety.
Also the toast had been sitting for a while and was cold and hard.
Felt rude to ask for her to make me more when it had already been served.

Enjoyed my stay id definitely return. Just a comment… I couldn’t find how to turn the air con on. There was no book that gave instructions or to advise how to work the room. Those are always handy. I instead had two hot nights in the room. I could’ve called reception but didn’t want to bug them. I still enjoyed it tho!
