Always great service

Excellent staff as always and a late checkout. Rooms could do with new refrigerators. Plus as a woman in the gym on her own it would be good to either have the walking machines face the door - or have mirrored glass on the wall opposite the door so I can see what is happening behind me and who has come in.

Early checkin

There should be some considerations if a couple is coming early in the morning because that’s the only direct flight available. To make them sit till 3 pm is really bad. We already spent whole night awake. They could have charged an amount but to send a message that you book one extra day was absurd when all rooms are booked.
