May sound minor but the fact that when we booked in late at night, the key was in the safe box at the office and the room had milk and biscuits was great. Nice room as well.

The King Bed was Aweful both woke with a sore back way too soft just sunk into it. Sheets weren’t very nice very stiff not overly nice. The shower head was too forceful it pelted you like needles. The fridge and freezer didn’t work properly half cold at best and freezer didn’t freeze our blocks.
