Pros:

The room was comfortable and a decent size with plenty of storage. Nice touch with bottles of water in the room. Definitely a very good rate for the room with breakfast included.

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable as were the pillows. The kettle had stale water in it. We were woken early with noise both outside then inside too. The handset didn't work properly for the TV.
