Peter

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Superior room was a basic bedroom. Clean and adequate but expected more. No fridge or minibar, poor signal on tv (picture and sound kept breaking up) and the safe at floor level is not easy to access when you’re in your mid seventies. Ordered room service meal - after an hour phoned reception to be told that order had not been passed on to kitchen. Overall, disappointed with the hotel - expected better when paying over £200 per night.

Great location and huge room

The hotel was very nice and centrally located. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue we had was the air conditioning was not working properly in the room on either night even after maintenance looked at it. The hotel made every effort to correct the issue and we’re very easy to work with.
