The room was pretty spacey and well lit. I liked the bed and it was clean.

Decent bar although it was quiet when we visited. It did offer a very good selection of drinks

Enjoyed our stay again but we were given our room key at check in (after 3pm) only to arrive at the room to find it had not been cleaned after the previous occupants. This was rectified but still disappointing
