I just want to praise Candice on reception when we checked in. She was exceedingly helpful and understanding in trying to find a suitable room for us. She dealt with it very professionally and we couldn't have asked for it to be dealt with any better.

The room was clean with basic amenities, and the bed was reasonably comfortable, though for someone used to sleeping on a very soft mattress, I found it a little firm for my tastes. There was a comprehensive selection for breakfast, which was pleasing to see. The quality was lacking, but given that it was included with the stay, I cannot complain too much. Overall, the value was superb.
