Lovely experience, would recommend
Lovely hotel with friendly staff in an excellent location, hand for airport transit and sight-seeing. Breakfast was great, and the room was perfect for working, which was essential for me on this trip. Special mention to the little rubber duck that greeted me on arrival, what a lovely touch : )

Fantastic food
Food - breakfast was really really good with attentive service and THE MOST AMAZING fresh waffles!!!
However room was not as well appointed as it maybe should have been for the price and also a lack of snacks/mini bar etc meant that it didnt match the cost paid
