the staff were fantastic from check-in to check-out. the room was spacious with a huge bed. the bathroom had a really hot and powerful shower i was grateful.
i waited almost ten minutes for someone at reception. the free wifi provided either did not work or was so slow it was pointless. there was also a mobile reception black spot.
