Comfortable Stay
nice decor fresh milk
The room decor was nice. Checking in was easy, and the reception area had free fruit biscuits and milk. Breakfast service was friendly. Fresh milk was provided with tea and coffee kettle facilities rather than UHT plastic pots.
Guests were very noisy. They were banging doors as they came in late. Quieter soft close room doors are needed.
