Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We arrived after a long day of travelling and unfortunately the additional sofa bed hadn’t been made up, we spoke with reception and was given the relevant sheets etc, we were happy to make the bed up ourselves
Breakfast wasnt fresh most hot items were cold and tasted rubbery like it was cooked the day before, buns were stale and croissants were burned, the seating area was busy and one day there were no plates or bowls avaliable, staff were stressed and unfriendly and not helpful.
