Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services.
