We initially didn’t get the best room. It had carpet & felt a-bit rundown, but we asked to change the next day to a different room & The staff were very accommodating. They swapped us to an amazing room with most fantastic view!! (5th floor) The breakfast was great! Location great & everyone was really friendly! They made sure we were well looked after x
