mixed experience with some issues.
high costslow wi-fi
The room cost seemed high. breakfast was extra. Nearly sixteen pounds! a step ladder seemed necessary to get into the bed, especially tricky since my wife is not very tall. the wi-fi was slow. the staff was friendly! but the wi-fi was slow.

cooked breakfastextractor fancourtyard seating
the cooked breakfast met my expectations it was nice.
the room was very stuffy. i opened the windows but this faced the courtyard so i had non residents sitting right outside. there was also a type of extractor fan opposite the window it ran through the night at intervals so sleep wasn't easy because i needed to have the window open for ventilation.
