Nice kitchen equipped for food prep and enjoyed the fruit, pastries and tea/coffee facilities. The bairn loved the iron bru and the water in the room fridge was great and very thoughtful. Free parking. Staff at check in was very attentive and helpful. Bed was comfortable and heating of the room was ample. Nearby tram stop was also a bonus. Nice place for overnight stay. Would return.
