Clean and tidy with great views. Staff were exceptional and attentive and the buffet breakfast was fantastic with a brilliant selection of food. Check in and check out was a breeze. The only issue was with the Fox sport channels not working but apart from that, the room was clean and comfortable. I'll definitely go back again.
