    There is a good selection of food for breakfast and it was always served hot and on hot plates. They were always on hand to meet any new requests. The evening meal in the hotel was very good. A good selection and we had dinner on both evenings.

    The room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious and because of having our own corridor it felt like a small apartment. The breakfast was excellent as was the Dinner we had on our first night.
