The staff were exceptional. They were warm, genuine, and did everything they could to make my stay easy. One member of staff bought up a mobile charger almost instantly after I called down to ask if they had one. The staff remembered by name and took great care with my bags after I checked out. Nothing was too much trouble. Truly exmplarary
