Pros:

Value for money is excellent. Great breakfast included. Room spacious and clean. Staff at check in were extremely polite and helpful. Fantastic food in the lounge.

Cons:

The room was way too hot. Even without heating on. The temperature control on the wall would not work when I tried to make it cooler. We did use the fan provided but unfortunetly, even though the beds were very comfortable, we did not have a very comfortable sleep.
There were no cups provided to have tea or coffee.
Would have loved to have had a shower cap provided in bathroom.
