I was very happy with the room and the person who checked us in was lovely.. the room looked good..
My only disappointment was the Wi-Fi service! It was truly literally inaccessible... Was one reason l booked the room here as l needed to be able to access details on my tablet, which l was unable to do! It cut out every 10 seconds would have to wait 30 seconds for it to sign back in to only cut out again straight away!

Clean and excellent for the price. Late check-in was handled easily, and when I did have an issue, it was solved quickly and well. Communication with management was outstanding. HIGHLY recommended.
