Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Everything they offered was fine - however there was no hairdryer making the shower irrelevant, and no bedside glasses for night-time drinks although the tea/coffee cups could be repurposed. A few issues at check-in but they were dealt with well by the staff. So fine, but a few things could be improved.
