The room was adequate for my Wife & I. It was small, but if you didn't want to swing a cat around, it was very good. The room was recently built or recently renovated. The shower was excellent. There was room for two, if you are inclined. The bed gave us a great night's sleep. The Staff were brilliant. Very helpful & obliging. I would stay there again.
