Overall not too bad

Our overall stay was great, however , we had issues with several things in the room, the shower door did not close, the lighting was extremely poor, the dispensers in the bathroom didn’t work and our kettle was filthy. The room was clean and newly refurbished and the tea and bottled water was plentiful. The breakfast was delicious.

Needs new beds

Sorry to say this but we had a great room, suite I think, but the let down was the bed. The mattress was completely collapsed and we had a very uncomfortable night.
