modern decor comfortable bed good shower reheated food burnt potatoes sullen staff
The room featured modern decor, which i found charming. the bed was indeed comfortable. I enjoyed a good sleep. the shower in the bathroom worked well.
The food i had was poor, seemed reheated. my fish was overcooked and the potatoes were burnt. the service was slow, except for one waitress who smiled. The others were sullen.

spacious rooms quiet rooms tasty food activated key cards damp smell shower mould
I found the rooms to be spacious and quiet. The food was FANTASTIC! I recommend the bar food. It was delicious. I enjoyed having such tasty food available.
My key cards were not activated initially, annoying. I also noticed a damp smell when I first entered the room. There was mould in the shower. This needed addressing and cleaning properly. This was a disappointment.
