"I stayed for two weeks aat the hotel, Great location walking distance to the station and a short bus ride to my brother's Care home. Property was well maintained and the cleaning and front office staff were very responsive and helpful. The breakfast could have been better and tastier. Finally the gym equipment was inadequate and the gym card did not work beyond the first day. Luckily, MK has many beautiful walking paths nearby which I was able use daily."
