We stayed 5 nights and had an upstairs room with a comfortable King size bed. A buffet continental breakfast was included in the tariff which was available in the dining room on the same floor. The ensuite bathroom had been renovated but the glass shelf in the shower recess was fixed to the shower recess wall at chest height effectively reducing the usable space in the already small shower recess by about a quarter.
