Excellent… we will come here again

At check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to have been given an upgrade to a King-bed room with blockout shutters. The room was excellent, clean, spacious and had everything we could need. The bed was very comfortable and, with the benefit of the blockout shutters, the room had very little light overnight, ensuring we enjoyed an undisturbed good night’s sleep.
