Will stay again
Room/bed good size and very comfortable. Happy not to have fridge in each room to save power but would be good to have access to communal fridge storage of milk and water for tea coffee making in room as having shared bar/night porter/reception person makes service level lower. Disappointed that the breakfast options had been reduced since last year.
