A pleasant stay
Pros:

The room was a good size and comfortable. Breakfast had an excellent choice and the staff where pleasant.

Cons:

Felt it was a bit tired looking in places, such as the corridor carpets look like they need replacing and the windows need cleaning outside, however it didn't spoil my stay.
