1. The only downsides to the bathroom: * The sink area in the bathroom doesn't provide much in the way of counterspace, as it's more of a pedestal-style sink.

8. The staff were friendly and helpful, the only downside for us was the price of the breakfasts within the hotel as they were fairly expensive when we stayed in 2007 but the price had increased by a couple of bucks this time around.
