The room was modern in design with light-coloured wood furniture, including a large desk, bedside cabinets, wardrobes, etc. We had a double bed, which came with two rather flat pillows. My husband likes a couple of pillows, so I phoned down to housekeeping to ask for a couple of extra ones; these were delivered within 10 minutes – very good. You get a dial-up internet connection in the room, which has a phone, TV with cable, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge, and small safe. The bathroom was small but clean with a bath, toilet, and basin, and there was a good power shower over the bath.

We decided to go along to the restaurant for our evening meal and found that they have a happy hour between 6 and 7pm, which saved us a few pounds. The restaurant is a buffet, so you can choose any starter, main course, and dessert that you want for £12.95 each person. Main courses included various meats such as turkey, beef, pork, vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, curries, pasta, Chinese, and other such delights. Desserts included fruit, cakes, gateaux, cheese, and biscuits, etc. All in all, the food was very nice and the choices good. Drinks are at an extra cost.

We found our night’s stay very comfortable and the hotel and staff pleasant and efficient. Check out was quick and easy, despite it being 6am. There is a shuttle bus that stops outside the hotel to take you to and from the airport at a cost of £3 per person each way. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
