The staff was fantastic and friendly. I appreciated their willingness to help with anything I needed!!! The food for the evening meal tasted great and the breakfast was really good quality. I especially liked that food and drink prices were reasonable.
The EV charger was not working. I was unable to charge my car. This created some logistical issues. I would have appreciated advance notice.

The breakfast area was clean and spacious. A self serve menu of full English style food was available and met my needs. The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly. I found the room to be a good size and the location near the airport convenient.
I found no tea in my room and no biscuits. I had to request those items from reception. A light bulb in my room was non working and maintenance needed to be called. The stairs carpets down to the ground floor were filthy.
