Room cleaning, The smoke alarm, flashing red and green all night. Bed was uncomfortable. 1 towel between the 2 of us the other towel in the extra towel bag had obviously been handled by a previous occupant as it wasnt folded correctly- therefore we weren't comfortable using it.

On arrival staff friendly and helpful. Was given choice of bath or balcony. Room was lovely clean and comfortable. Booked for 2 nights with breakfast. First morning for breakfast must say was over run and breakfast was poor. Service was terrible and no organisation due to number of people eating. Must say second morning breakfast was so different and calm, organised and breakfast was very good. Would feel for anyone who only stayed for one night and it would be unfair if people did judge on that experience.

The room was showing its age. Tea and coffee etc not filled up each day. Good location and staff who we spoke to were very friendly. Budget options were probably a better option in the end.
