Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was spacious, bathroom was also spacious and clean. Water pressure was fantastic. The bed however was awful, we’ve stayed here twice now and sadly it will be the last time we stay. We both had horrible sleeps because the bed was so hard. We couldn’t lay in the one position for too long cause you would loose the feeling in your arm or hip. The breakfast was lovely, but you had to pay for a decent coffee. When we checked out we unfortunately got stuck in the lift for 40 minutes, the communication about the status of how it was progressing to get us out of the lift was dismal and disappointing.
