Our stay was quick and good for what we needed as just passing through. Staff were very helpful with late check in and organising breakfast orders for following morning. However room did appear a little dusty, light fitting above one of kids beds was also hanging out of wall and unfortunately our breakfast was cold by the time it arrived,
