"Fantastic location. Staff were lovely. We did have an issue a few times with our card key not working which was a bit annoying. Especially when the front desk was not staffed for 15-20 minutes when we got back to the hotel. However we were offered breakfast as compensation which was a nice..The rooms are huge!
