Staff were friendly and helpful, the room was amazing. I loved the setup having the bedroom separate to the lounge. Pressure for the shower was absolutely amazing, bed was a little hard but got comfortable in the end. Due to security reasons visitors are not allowed which is not stated on the site however the receptionist was willing to allow my family to come through. Highly recommended.
