Helpful and polite
The lady on the desk was very friendly and polite. She was also very helpful as 2 people from our group had gotten stuck in the traffic and we had to wait for them to arrive.

Expensive for what you get
Clean place but very busy. Staff couldn’t cope with the amount of people there. Toilets were a bit filthy given the amount of people inside. Over priced for what we got. Easy to use screen on the lane.
Needs more staff
