Basic and poor!!
Pros:

The location was fabulous.

Cons:

The rooms are extremely basic and need an update now, there was so basic things not properly cleaned up we found a medication pill and clothes labels on the floor and hairs in the bath. Breakfast was bad it was awful like like warm and not nice at all and after our concert on return to hotel there was no residents bar so we went back out to get a further drink we only wanted a night cap so we found that poor. Including breakfast we paid £100 for night so I suppose for the location being amazing you get for what you pay for but will certainly won’t be returning.
