My main issue was the mattress, it really was well past its use by. A poor night's sleep due to the bed you've paid to sleep in...well, I think that says it all, really.

We had a free upgrade to a family room which they rang in advance to offer us, and waived the car parking which was lovely if them to do after we'd been driving for 10 hours. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. The hotel restaurant food and service was great.

A booked error was made due to incorrect representation on Expedia. I was expecting a family room instead was given two seperate rooms and expected to put my 3 and 6 year old in a completely different room down the hall. When asked they refused to refund. The dining room at the restaurant was freezing. The room was dirty and there was a party in the room next to ours at 3am. Definitely won’t be coming back.
