The staff seemed very helpful. Breakfast was good and gave a variety of cereals, breads, preserves and juice. I found complimentary tea and coffee available all day and night. This was very appreciated.
The night manager told us we didn't need more pillows. The attitude was very poor, in my opinion. I don't appreciate being told what my needs are. I think she should have been friendlier.

soft pillowsexpensive drinks
The pillows were just too soft for me. i also wished they had provided some biscuits to go with the coffee and tea. the drinks were too expensive. I paid £3.50 for a 500ml bottle of coke from the machine. there wasn't much private seating near the door.
