Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable however we were given a room with a wet room and the grouting on the floor tiles needed attention and the breakfast was ok more choice of fruit was needed
Was in room 12 ground floor. At 0450 was awoken by noise from corridor doors opening/closing, this lasted for 25 minutes, then could smell smoke as if someone now smoking in corridor. Spoke to reception who said sorry to hear that.
Very impressed with our Executive room, nice size room and bathroom. Only suggestion is that bigger towel rails are fitted in the bathroom. To be eco friendly and reuse the towels, larger rails are needed so the towels can dry.
Stay was good. Room was ok, fan was VERY noisy in bathroom so had to switch off. No batteries in tv remote either.
One bonus was there are Tesla superchargers at this site which for me was an added bonus.
Room smaller than expected. Curtains don’t close all the way. Bath tub curtain way too short. Water drips out when showering. Carpet not vacuumed. Has no view.
Ambience good. Breakfast good w lots of options. Kitchen staff good and helpful.
