Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were so welcoming and the room to a very high standard. The breakfast was excellent. Only minor issue was the very small shower/toilet cubicle. After showering the entire room was wet and there was not a lot of privacy fir toilet use (close proximity to the bed and could see through the glass doors).
