The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was an excellent size and well designed. The bathroom was also a GREAT size. The food for both breakfast and the evening meal was very good.

The mattress felt springy and uncomfortable. There was no fridge in the room either. The window was also broken (that was a shame).
