10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is amazing and this is always my first choice when I visit Gunwharf, however it would be helpful for there to be plug sockets next to the bed I have an iPhone and the usb socket next the bed is only suitable for an Android phone, and with also no plug sockets next to the bed it means that you have to charge your phone the other side of the room instead of next to the bed."
