Kathleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Arrived at 6pm and was able to dine in house with good value food on express menu before 6 45pm. Being a conference centre they provide unusued rooms for public bookings. There was only a small group conference so it was very quiet dueing our stay. Breakfast was hot and cold buffet options in dining area. A moderate range of healthy options Room was modern clean and comfortable. Would stay there again.
