the room was very spacious it included a huge bed and plenty of space dinner was excellent i especially recommend the cheese plate to finish but one between us was enough a full english breakfast kept us full all day.
an extractor fan under our room from the kitchen was left on all night it was unbearable to sleep.
the staff were really friendly. the menu had some nice meal choices. our room was a nice size, and the bed was comfortable. i appreciated the central location, it made getting around very easy.
the bathroom had an sloped floor. this made it a problem for me. the rooms had marks on the carpets. the rooms looked a little shabby.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were super clean. The building is quite beautiful and centrally located. The breakfast selection was vast, and the breakfast I ordered tasted AMAZING!!!
The room had a slight noise issue from the pump when the toilet was flushed, a bit annoying.
