Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautifully decorated room, very clean. Easy to collect key from key box and managed to get one of the two parking spaces. Bathroom was luvly too and very clean. Iron, small ironing board and hangers in the cupboard. Loads of drawer space too Bed was really comfy had a good night's sleep
Negative: There are a.few improvements that cud be made to make this a perfect stay. No rail anywhere in the room to hang clothes on even tho there was hangers in the cupboard. TV didnt seem to connect to wi-fi so we cudnt watch anything when we reutrned in the evening and the room was very warm maybe needed a fan or something as we cudnt open the windows. In addition to this a breakfast option wud be nice but we did know when we.booked that it was room only.
Summary: Beautiful clean room - few small improvements would.make it perfect
