I had a fantastic stay at The Vault! The hotel is spotless, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The breakfast room was pretty small and cosy, but I had no issues finding a space, and the food was delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, thank you for a wonderful trip!

Staff are welcoming and the breakfast is great. The hotel is in the town centre. But you need to walk a bit and go through a bridge between the airport shuttle bus stop to the hotel door. (Taxi can drive to the hotel door step. ) There is a grey dust spot on my quilt cover.

Disliked: Amenities
The people were very friendly. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet. I did ask for a room clean after 3 days and only the bed was made and bathroom wiped down, no clean sheets. It would have been helpful to understand there is a way around the bridge so we didn’t have to lug 50lb bags up and down 16 steps. The breakfast was a food safety horror show. Cold eggs, bacon, sausage, a food inspector’s nightmare. If inspected, it would be shut down.
