Friendly Staff & a nice clean room. Feedback - Shower Tray was very slippery, would advise doing something about this as my partner slipped and fell and now has a very large bruise. We will be making the hotel aware of this. Safe is not big enough for a 15.4 inch laptop - for anyone looking to store similar.
