    We needed to spend one night at a hotel after a late arrival, so the location was perfect. Frequent shuttle buses were very helpful. Breakfast was very tasty and variable. There was a good wifi.

    Breakfast was great. I loved the grab and go bags. I loved how quiet the room was and the view into peaceful trees and vegetation out of the window.

    Breakfast had lots of choice. The room was big and had everything you need. There was good choice of food at the restaurant and the staff were kind and attentive. The shuttle bus was convenient if a bit costly at £4 each way
