the staff were friendly and helpful (always smiling!), and the food was delicious. breakfast each morning was a real treat with a wide variety of choices available.
the standard single room i booked was a bit smaller than i expected. also, i noticed some noise from nearby rooms, especially in the evenings (earplugs helped though).

enjoyable stay in convenient location

excellent decorfirst class foodtidy roomgood entertainment
The hotel decor and seating were excellent. I admired the plush carpets in reception. i found the food first class, from dinner to breakfast. my room was clean, tidy, and good for my short stay. the entertainment was also very good.
The room was a little warm, but there was a fan in it. The corridor was also somewhat narrow, though manageable.
