+ Large room and bathroom. Nicely decorated. Easy check in and out.
− As I find in most hotels the plug socket is never near a mirror which is not helpful for hair styling! The bathroom is huge which is great but there is minimal space to put your toiletries and makeup...a large shelf could be added easily to solve this. Also, fresh milk with no fridge is not great!
