Disliked: Cleanliness
I didn't realize that I accidentally booked an "accessible" room... which would have been ok, but I noticed blood splatter in the shower. It looked like someone had fell and had a nasty cut. I called the front desk and the lady said it was cleaning solution, but I've never seen cleaning solution the color of blood. She offered to change the room to another accessible room downstairs but it was already late and I had an early flight. Nevertheless, it just gave me an uneasy feeling and I didn't sleep too well that night.

Great start to our holiday.

Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Close to the airport with a free regular shuttle bus. Just check your airport parking isn’t the other side of the terminal like mine was! We ate in the restaurant for our evening meal and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. Will definitely be returning- a wonderful start to the holiday.
