Hotel nice Check in was little slow,1st lady said room wasn't ready,as sge said didnt realise i wanted sofa bed made up.She said would sort it,then seemed to go off shift.So had coffee and after about 40 minutes later i went back up to see if ready,an young lad said so sorry i didnt realise you had been waiting so previous lady obviously hadnt told him .He was great though got us checked in right away.So think previos lady could've done more to make the other staff aware.Apart from that hotel was great.Room nice and clean.There was also another great male member of staff that was on night shift i was chatting to him the 2nd night as my son was joining us at the hotel later that evening.He was great guy and really helpful to my son saying there would still be few breakfast items available to him,as he had to leave just after 5am.Wish i wouldve got the 2 male staff members names as they were amazing

Overall we had a good experience at this hotel, we only stayed 1 night. As a company-wide policy they don't provide bottked drinking water in the rooms, however jugs of iced water are available on request. We found the breakfast area very, very crowded at 9am, on the plus point they gave us vegetarian sausages as part of the breakfast package.
