Overall nice hotel. Well equipped and comfortable rooms. Staff are also very helpful and polite. The only thing that let it down was the breakfast. All cooked items were only very lightly cooked to the point you couldn't tell if the tomatoes or hash browns had been cooked at all. Ended up just having some toast.
