I do not know if the TV remote is faulty but I could only receive Channel 7. The fan in the ensuite is not working. No wonder you want the door left open due to Fire alarm issues. The wall heaters are marginally effective if you want the curtains closed. They are not efficient behind heavy curtains. This window faced a path so did not wish to leave the curtains open. Otherwise the room was comfortable. Thank you.

Room was adequate, bed was excellent however the rooms aren't very sound proof and you can hear your neighbours talking. The lack of a cooked breakfast was also a minus. The property was lovely and quiet with no road noise.

Arrived at check in time and room was not ready. Was set down about 10 minutes later to find them hastily finishing it. Bathroom had only one light working, no heating and was very cold. You could See they cleaned the room in a rush as it wasn’t as expected. Very poor lighting at night time trying to get to the car park, quite unsafe
