Relaxing

All staff, ( reception, spa, housemaids) were excellent. Room was clean but found the pillows too hard and uncomfortable and the room was a bit noisy being at the back above the kitchen. Teaspoons would be handy for making cups of tea instead of sticks !

Not enough towels or pillows in room to start, bathroom could be refreshed but a decent size, shower had to be stepped up into & wasn’t very big. Bed was comfortable. We were in 133 & it was a trek to get to it. Looked out to the car park at back & got to listen to the garbage & bottles being dumped. Found a spider on my towel this morning.
