Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Property is well maintained, modern and clean. Some great options for food and activities on site and nearby. Stayed in the 1 bedroom suite - spacious and great amenities. Loved the deep bathtub. Kitchen is well appointed with the basics - toaster, kettle, coffee pod machine, dishwasher, microwave and fridge. Only thing I’d point out as a downfall was the microwave needed a clean as it had a build up of food splatter inside, so I opted not to use it. Room service was excellent, and well priced. Parking has a lot of space, but getting in and out is a bit squeezy, as it is an underground Wilson’s car park. Will definitely be staying again! Staff deserve a massive shoutout as they are the face of a business, and they truly represent it well.
