Pros:

It was a good location and the room itself was very spacious with expected furniture. The room service food was very tasty.

Cons:

There were not many kitchen facilities in the room but this is expected for the type of accommodation. The walls were very thin and I could hear people in the other rooms use the bathroom. The house keeping staff kept knocking on the door prior to the check out time.

Fantastic!
Pros:

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful - they went above and beyond in all interactions, even though my stay was only for 1 night. It was conveniently located, close to the town centre, but also far enough out to not be bothered by the business. The rooms were spacious, extremely clean and well appointed. We had lunch in the restaurant and it was also very nice, well priced and the staff again were fabulous. I will absolutely return again.

Only overnight
Cons:

We were issued upstairs room. We would have preferred a ground floor or on near a lift, no communication and we arrived late.
