It was lovely. The little welcome pack was a great touch and the rooms were big and clean.
Only negative was that the bathroom exhaust didnt work and the room steamed up due to no windows

The room was well laid out and clean. Staff co-operative and helpful.
Some hassles with my booking but that was an artefact of the Wotif website. I needed to plan around the office being working hours only.
