Pros (+) Really well recieved, the staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful. Constantly suggesting good local places to go. The rooms were clean and the facilities were excellent.
Cons (-) The only issue was the heat, the rooms were uncomfortably warm especially at night. But that was the only problem.
