Basic but what we needed
Pros:

The man at reception was outstanding. He even phoned us twice to see if we were ok because we were running late because of the eurotunnel. When we eventually arrived he was very polite and handled the situation extremely well . He deserves a medal.

Cons:

A little bit of a struggle to find it but our sat nav got confused
