Pros:

Was very surprised at the size of the room we stayed in which was huge for the price we paid compared to other others we have paid more for way smaller room. Beds where comfortable and room very clean.

Cons:

Complementary nexflix or other tv apps login as guests would have been appreciated. Since no one can remember there own logins. So we couldn't watch tv. Also one of the lights by the window kept flickering. Bigger bath towels would have been a nice touch.

Comfortable room and friendly staff.
Pros:

Staff were friendly. Bed was comfy and room very spacious.

The breakfast layout was unusual, not easy to find what you were looking for. Some items were on the opposite side of the room to the rest.
