the breakfast options was good and food was delicious. the staff are helpful and friendly. it meant we could freshen up and have a nap, much appreciated.
the duvet was too narrow and short. it was tucked in one side by room service every day. i had to untuck it completely which meant the bottom sheet had to be remade too.
