Our stay was comfortable and adequate for our needs.
Pros:

Room was comfortable and large for 3 of us. In a quiet location. Serviced everyday. Clean. Coffee and tea making facitlities and milk provided.

Cons:

The showerscreen door leaked so water was everywhere on the floor. Had to mop up with towels all the time. The seating area in the foyer and bar area should provide phone and laptop charging points everywhere.
