Superior rooms are just rooms. Not kid or luggage friendly. Shower had very low water pressure. Tv resolution was bad. Casting from the phone is ok but you need to sign in with passwords so please sign out when leaving. On the booking it should say no lifts available if booking the superior family rooms.
