The rooms were absolutely spotless and very spacious, making my stay comfortable. The service from Craig was truly exceptional; he made me feel right at home. However, I wasn't able to enjoy breakfast as much as I wanted since I had plans in the city early on. Overall, the value for money was excellent.
