Our luggage was carried up to our room. We were encouraged to contact reception if there was anything needed. All the staff were friendly & helpful & considerate. Our room was spacious with lots of power points in good positions for charging devices. The curtains were extensive & kept out the outside lights. We were able to park close to our room.
