    Plenty of space in the bedroom, comfortable bed and good TV reception. 4 of the 5 nights were very quiet in the hotel, ideal for my nervous dog. Friday night was busier, but as the room was near the end of the corridor we still had a quiet night

    We loved the room and hotel. Reception was not the most pleasant when we arrived but maybe it was an off day. Our work event was amazing with great food, drinks and service.
