excellent stay

clean room lovely staff
the room was very clean. the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. our initial room did not suit us and the following day we were moved to another room which was excellent.
the beds are firm. our room was entered and cleaned even though we had the do not disturb sign displayed. i felt out of place as this hotel is old fashioned and more for older guests
