Pros:

Communication prior to arrival was excellent. I booked 4 rooms for a c2c cycling challenge.
We all arrived at 10-30pm and check in was hassle free.
After a fantastic shower a late bar helped.
The rooms were to a very high standard. Bathroom/shower were also immaculate.
Everyone one was impressed with the excellent breakfast. Late check out was appreciated.

Cons:

Nothing.
