Everything. I am a very anxious person and it was first time i booked a hotel just for myself in an unfamiliar city; the staff were phenominal, friendly made me feel right at home the minute i walked through reception. My friend advised the hotel as they love it so much. Bathroom was very clean, beds comfortable, price of hotel was excellent. I will be coming again with my partner and children to share the experience. Highly reccomend.
