Pros:

We were upgraded.

Cons:

There was an issue with the amount of nights we were staying. Told this was booking.com fault. This stressed me out. Then found out later it was to do with hotel. The fridge froze our food and drinks. Couldn't see where to adjust this.

Pros:

When I arrived, the lovely lady at reception realised I was travelling with my 14yr old she moved us to a room with two beds. She was very attentive and helpful, we had no expectation of this happening so it was a lovely experience to have. The room was absolutely spotless.
