the one bedroom suites were quite different in size, but plenty of room.
How is the exec. lounge?
It's on the ground floor, behind the bar. The breakfast buffet has a reasonable selection of hot and cold items, and there is a different country food theme nightly, with a selection hot and cold items, and beer and wine. Paulette in the lounge is wonderful.
