Nice staff Excellent blinds and curtains combo to keep sun and some heat out during the day. Nice shower and powerful enough to wash even my thick hair Lovely bed and pillows

Girl on buffet told me the sign saying 'gluten free available on request' meant the tray of sandwiches were all gluten free. Obviously they weren't and I had to push her to check. I then received a really nice selection and was impressed. When doing a buffet you should bring up anyone with allergies first as the tongs were all cross contaminated with gluten so I couldn't have anything until a fresh batch was brought out. Too hot, but that's not your fault as I knew no air conditioning when booked.
