Upon arrival, the heater and light was on and a bag of lollies were left for us. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean, couldn’t fault anything. The pressure from the shower is like a massage, absolutely awesome. Sky movies and got to watch some Olympics. Great location, plenty of parking.
