Lumpy Bed

Due to lack of staff, check in was slow. The receptionist was very friendly but had to jump between reception and the bar. The bed was very uncomfortable, I felt I would roll out of it.

It was a great stay with good service overall, the room was comfortable, the front desk girls at our arrival were superb. The breakfast is good, however I wish you would’ve thought about options for people with food allergies.
