Fabulous stay few minutes from EMA

The man on reception was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and roomy. The shower in the bathroom was really nice, a nice strength and heat. Had a hot breakfast which was excellent, well cooked, good choice and a very nice pancake maker too. Would definitely stay again, was impressed with everything. Plus the car parking was at a reduced rate when staying at the hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I didn't realize that I accidentally booked an "accessible" room... which would have been ok, but I noticed blood splatter in the shower. It looked like someone had fell and had a nasty cut. I called the front desk and the lady said it was cleaning solution, but I've never seen cleaning solution the color of blood. She offered to change the room to another accessible room downstairs but it was already late and I had an early flight. Nevertheless, it just gave me an uneasy feeling and I didn't sleep too well that night.

Great start to our holiday.

Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Close to the airport with a free regular shuttle bus. Just check your airport parking isn’t the other side of the terminal like mine was! We ate in the restaurant for our evening meal and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. Will definitely be returning- a wonderful start to the holiday.
