great location pleasant staff clean room street view cold welcome phone number
The location is fabulous. A car park across the street is much needed. i had a nice street view from the third floor. the room was very clean and the reception staff was always pleasant.
The welcome was cold and unfriendly. They insisted i needed to give them my phone number. the fridge made a horrible noise and needed to be turned off though the swimming pool was lovely.
