the king size bed in the room was very comfortable. i had a nice large walk in shower as well. the newly refurbished bar and restaurant area looked amazing.
the rooms felt very basic. the car park looked a bit rough. i noticed that it is an older building, so i did hear a lot of creaks and movement.
