"Room cosy bath was nice shower was a little under pressured wobbly toilet and a small leak from the sink, not an issue though nice and quiet normal sounds such as doors closing and people talking. Very comfy bed and sofa high tv with smart view connection for devices. Extra towels and pillows too. Food onside was a bonus though I didn't eat as it was a layover for one night. Best thing was on arrival I got to check in early as I had miss read the email confirmation the staff were happy for me to go to the room as it was ready. One small issue was that the heating was electric and on a timer so was initially chilly once I'd figured out the override room warmed up very nicely. Definately recommend if travelling for work or just need to rest on a long journey 10/10 would and will stay again."
