A modern excellent hotel with decent breakfast. One staff member (Ellis, who was excellent) doing check in at ~2:15pm. A queue of at least 10 groups waiting to check in. He was working ++ to clear the backlog whilst using his personal charm to chat with guests. Room cleanliness excellent apart from crisp packet, Maltesers and empty milk cartons lying on the floor under the beds.
