Disappointed and underwhelmed
Pros:

Breakfast was ok

Cons:

Our room - wet patch on the carpet under the mirror. The lighting was appalling - room was incredibly dark. Stains/ drips down the wall under the aircon unit. Looked like it had been leaking for some time and not cleaned. The bed was ridiculously small.

Excellent and comfortable overnight stay, I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay again.
Pros:

All staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. A real bonus on a short stay. Well done.

Cons:

The breakfast was a little underwhelming, in my opinion. Not exceptional as per other reviews, in particular the fruit juices tasted like very weak squash. Some more fresh fruit would have also been welcomed. Cooked items were good however.
