10/10 Excellent
"The room was fine and usual Clayton standard. Love that the twin rooms have two lovely double beds, that’s what me choose this hotel. Unfortuneately I couldn’t call for pick up when we arrived at the airport, which made me worry initially about how we’d get to the hotel, but we managed to cross just one busy road to get over with our luggage. Hence why I took out 1 star."
