Overall stay was okay. Room was fine, not the greatest curtains to keep the light The room was in the car park and the main bins where being emptied at 5am. The ev chargers did not work, despite the efforts of the evening reception staff. Breakfast was fine, but the evening meal menu lacked any real vegetarian options beyond a risotto. Overall, an okay stay.
