Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff and other guests were friendly and pleasant to deal with. The free pancakes each morning were a nice surprise. The communal bathroom could do with an upgrade, but everything worked. Not sure how rooms are selected/allocated, my room was almost as far as possible from the communal bathroom.
