Pros:

Great location to everthing & having a Balcony also a special mention to Ciara & Martha for helping when we needed it.

Cons:

The Suite was large but not much in it, TV was to small no tea & coffee toilet smells everything you flush it,
The lift needs to be updated as you know if lazy guests don't shut door's it won't work.
