the staff are really good. they presented us with a really nice room arrangement for our anniversary celebration. they always managed the cables for our own chargers with velcro, it was lovely.

the hotel provided an upgrade, but it had a toilet with a faulty cistern, that ran constantly. it stopped for the manager, but then started again. this carried on all day and night. it certainly did not give us a relaxing night away.
