Good but the bed

Very clean, all the basics covered. Breakfast was ok but the area where is ess presented was very small and just not enough for the guests; we were all kind of falling over one another. The staff were friendly. The main issue was there bed. I am a side sleeper but don't like a soft mattress but this one was little more than a board with a sheet over it, making it really hard to sleep and leaving me feeling bruised in the morning. No idea how procurement department could arrive at purchasing this.

Bitten by bed bugs.

Bed bugs ruined what would have been a perfect stay. Everywhere seemed clean but bitten first night. Reported it and moved Rooms. Bitten again even worse than before. Room 28 then 26. Impossible to find evidence of these little critters but the bites so bad that they are mature bugs. These bites are very painful. Will never return to this hotel which is sad because we were happy with everything else.

Very pleased with the welcome. Room and facilities were excellent. One small criticism is the lighting, either everything on or just a bedside light.
