Pros:

The breakfast with kids eating free was good value

Cons:

The room was hot
We stayed Friday night and our room was right opposite loud venues making noise
The window wouldn't close so we couldn't shut the noise out
The carpet in the room was loose
One plug socket in the whole room spare to charge devices

Like sleeping in an oven!
Pros:

La pulizia in generale.
La colazione era inclusa e ben fornita, con poche code.
Parcheggio disponibile in loco, gratuito di notte

Cons:

In piena heatwave con 33 gradi esterni ci hanno chiuso in una stanza senza aria condizionata e con un solo ventilatore che era anche rotto (mancava la cover anteriore).
Quanto abbiamo chiesto dell'area condizionata ci è stato risposto 'Sorry we don't offer aircon at this time of the year' .

Eravamo al 4 piano, la finestra non era apribile per più di 2 cm per ovvi motivi di safety e nemmeno spiegare che avevamo 1 bambina di 4 mesi e 1 bambino di 2 anni è servito a farci dare un secondo ventilatore. La loro risposta è stata 'we are only allowed to give 1 per room'.

Premetto che non sono una che lascia recensioni negative ma in quella stanza c'era ZERO air flow, c'erano oltre 35 gradi e non ha dormito NESSUNO. Abbiamo addirittura dovuto rinunciare ad usare la prep machine per il latte artificiale perché una volta accesa dava errore e diceva 'water tank temp high'!!!

Inoltre, la luce della doccia funzionava ad intermittenza ed il filtro doccia era rotto. Per non parlare del fatto che il piatto doccia era scivolosissimo.

Soggiorno da dimenticare. Non vedevamo l'ora di andare via. Fortunatamente avevamo prenotato solo 1 notte, altrimenti avremmo fatto i bagagli e saremmo andati altrove nonostante il pagamento anticipato non rimborsabile.
