Susan from Ireland stayed here on 27th March 2008. Female 25-30. "I stayed in the sanctuary rooms - all girls floor. It was very clean and secure &we were given a towel and glass of free champagne! Only problem I had was there were no cups at all in the kitchen while we were there(3 days) We said it to reception and they said they would look into buying more cups but it was annoying. Other than that we had no problems with the place!"
