All staff were very friendly and professional. The cleaner I met in the hallway was very helpful, as were the barman, the receptionist and the restaurant staff. The room was clean and well presented, and the towels were lovely and big.
I write this at 4.30am on a Sunday morning. I was listening all morning to furniture being pulled across the floor. It was screeching as it was dragged along. This happened from 12.30am until 1.40am, then started again just after 4am.
