Upon arrival, one room was already cool when I got there, and it was really clean and bright with good lighting. The great breakfast added a nice touch. The service was a bit mixed, with the AGM who seemed unprofessionally attired and poorly trained, except for the standout Trevyn who was very helpful and friendly. The location was superb, being close to UK hospital and with easy access to everything.
