Great hospitality - particularly enjoyed the guest lounge with free coffee station and biscuits. Easy to communicate with staff Highlight for us would be the convenience to other shops etc + great TV conveniently located to enjoy a Netflix + chill. Wasn’t as soundproof as I hoped as I could clearly hear doors close and convo’s in the hallway from the room.
