The staff were very friendly. They reacted well when i needed to change rooms. the restaurant food, a selection of tapas, was excellent and reasonably priced. breakfast had a good variety of options. i travelled by electric vehicle. Rapid chargers are located three miles away in rochdale.

the bathroom door did not close properly due to alignment, and i found that impacted my privacy.
