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.
