Nightcap at Carlyle Hotel
It was comfortable and convenient and ticked all the basic boxes. The ONLY irritation we had was appearance of a noisy belligerent guest after midnight one night. This was not the fault of the hotel of course.

Clean room, friendly staff, clean amenities. Our only minor critique was that the coffee machine at breakfast made absolutely horrible coffees. Breakfast itself was fine though.
