The shower leaked and the vent above the door rattled all night.
Other than this it was a great spacious and clean room. Close to everything.
Staff were extremely friendly.

Lovely Hotel with amazing views . Weirdly only 2 powerpoints available in the room ,and none near the beds .
My issue was the showers are over baths , and I had specifically booked here as they advertise as disabled friendly. With a broken ankle and spirting I cast , I was unable to use the shower
