Overall it met our expectations

8.0

Very clean and all we needed

Amenities bottles didn’t dispense well, so instead of pumping we had to remove lids. Air conditioner was too noisy to sleep with heating on.

I liked having fresh milk for my coffees Bed was extremely comfortable. It was nice to receive a hand written note as a welcome.

It would have been good to have checked in at 2 as I had my elderly Mother with me but that's really the only reason.
