I found the breakfast selection great (especially the freshly squeezed orange juice!). The staff was really helpful and always friendly . My room had a fridge, a nice bonus for keeping drinks cool.

My room's decor seemed a bit outdated. I noticed some of the plug points were loose, almost falling out. The bathroom lighting was also quite dim, difficult to see.
