We had a problem I emailed and told the hotel what the problem was to help them. nothing back from them. Pretty disappointed when you try and help and don’t even get a thank you. Plenty of other hotels to stay at.

We stayed in a studio apartment, which was lovely and clean. The carpet was new and clean, as was the bathroom. It was great having a smart TV with Netflix. It is short drive to the town centre, and a short walk to the supermarket.
