Staff at reception were very friendly, professional and helpful. Provided with a room upgrade which was very welcomed and unexpected. Room was capacious and clean. However, the easy access bathroom was a tad tied in its condition and the 'back rest' on the cistern could do with replacing as all the wipe clean coating has perished. Even though the option to change pillows were provided, it would probably be good if a soft pillow out of the 4 were already available in the room. All 4 pillows were of the same firmness and having perhaps a soft option in the room would have been good 👍
