consistent quality stay

spacious room great choice comfortable bed
the room was spacious and clean. breakfast offered a very good choice of items. the beds were comfortable and i had a good night's sleep. the staff were friendly and approachable.
i found the toilet paper in the bedroom to be very thin. a better quality, thicker tissue would be an improvement. the lack of cooked food options one evening was disappointing.

the buffet breakfast was included (always a plus!). the bacon and tomatoes were quite nice, but the sausages tasted cheap. the coffee was from a machine and not the best (i wish there was an alternative).
