Thank you for a really lovely stay at this hotel. I would really recommend for location, really easy to get anywhere you want. The employees were super helpful and our room was available way before we expected which made our lives easier. Finally our room was brilliant, spacious and a separate sofa so we didn’t have to sit on the bed to relax. Overall while highly recommend and we would definitely return.
