A sad weekend
Pros:

Public areas are relaxing generally staff are nice and fun mking to feel welcome.

Cons:

Old dog bisciuts under the bed, damp bed linen, because the window had been left open.

There are no power sockets by the beds which is a big problem for people like myself that use a CPAP machine to allow them to breath when asleep i had very uncomfortable and sleepless night sitting on the fold down bed.
