Our room was comfortable. The location was amazing. Everyone at the hotel was very helpful. We did not have food at our hotel. There were tons of places to eat all around the area.
Very clean and attentive staff. Always willing to help. Bathtub drain in room 427 needs to be cleared. Slow draining in ankle feet of water but overall excellent as always. 2nd time there.
This was a Christmas trip for my Mum, I thought I give her a surprise treat, we booked in on 22nd December, great location as described but I want to say a huge thank you to the staff, warm welcome, swift booking in, the Junior suite was amazing the room was clean and tidy, and such lovely touches like mini bar and Nespresso coffee machine and plenty of towels and soft dressing gowns, and the breakfast was great selection, hot and cold to choose from only drawback a bit hectic around the toaster . Will use this hotel again and would recommend 100 percent, thank you for a perfect start to Christmas, see you soon.
