The standard family room has one double bed and two single beds. It includes a tv with multiple channels and a coffee maker with tea and coffee replenished daily. blackout curtains and soundproofing made the room quiet.

Acceptable stay with issues

poor tv signalregulated temperature
The room felt outdated. The tv signal was poor. Most channels showed no signal at all. I also found it DIFFICULT to regulate the temperature, with the heating seemingly on a timer (at 3 pm i was freezing, at 7 pm boiling).

great choicesupdated restaurantuncomfy bed
i found the staff were really friendly and helpful. breakfast offered lots of great choices and big servings. i especially loved the updated restaurant area and the fresh feel of the new lounge at reception.
The hotel served underage kids too much alcohol and they ran down the hall while i tried to sleep. the bed was not comfy either. the burger was pink. It tasted bland.
