superb showergreat sizetea refillmissing moisturiser
I found the shower to be a highlight, it was superb! The room was also a great size, which I appreciated. There was plenty of parking available, so I had no trouble finding a spot.
My tea and coffee weren't replenished after the first night. I would have really liked a cuppa before checking out. I also thought there could have been a bit more spa essentials in the bathroom, like some moisturiser. That addition could be a nice touch.

spacious roomextra chargeabsent security
the room was spacious, and it met my expectations.
the requirement to pay extra for pool access seemed unreasonable. loud guests disrupted the peace outside at late hours. security was absent to manage noise levels. there was no breakfast included, which should have been considered in the room rate.
