helpful staff good team small room limited storage
the staff were very helpful and pleasant. the manager clearly leads a very good team there, one of the nicest hotels i have stayed in. i will definitely stay next year.
the room was very small and looked smaller, as it was long and thin. the size given must include the window bay, only useful for your suitcase. there was a very small wardrobe in the corner that was difficult to get to with no drawers in the room at all to put any things into.
