Greeting from staff was very warm and welcoming, and I was escorted to my room which was a nice touch. The room itself was very clean, with a nice lottle tea tray and lovely furnishings. The bed was very comfy and made for a good nights sleep. The amenities were great and a modern mirror in the bathroom with toich sensitive light was pretty cool! Overall a great stay had, thank you.
