booked a plus room & honestly not much difference than other rooms i’ve booked in the past.coffee machine was nice but only 2 pods each & they were too strong in strength for me to drink. not everyone likes strong coffee. snack was a miniature chocolate.Bed wasn’t that comfortable but it had been a long day so it was just for one night.poured down with rain so popped into ask if we could book in early. told extra £10 on top of over £140. i’d already booked for early check in but wasn’t allowed in early unless i paid more, so spent a soggy hour walking around shops.
