below expectations.
Pros:

The hotel’s main advantage is its location, as it is right next to the airport, which is very convenient for travelers. In addition, the bed was comfortable and provided a good night’s sleep. These were the only positive aspects of my stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the rest of my experience was well below expectations. I paid just over £100 for a 4-star hotel, so I expected a much higher standard. The bathroom was not properly cleaned, and there was no hand soap provided, which I consider a basic amenity for any hotel. In addition, the air conditioning was very noisy throughout the night, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, the accommodation did not offer the level of comfort or quality that matches its price or 4-star rating.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The staff closed the bar at 11.15pm in the middle of the world cup semi final with england playing and many residence looking for a beer while watching the game very disappointing and very bad business in my opinion no member of staff had the foresight to read the situation and serve on during the game but the blame has to go to management for allowing this to happen

Perfect for a weekend away
Pros:

The property was lovely, staff were very happy friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, the food in the restaurant was 5*

Cons:

When booking an uber we found it difficult as the hotel is so close to the airport many Ubers would not accept us until we messaged … not the fault of the hotel but be expected to see a higher fare of £5 until the uber drivers are aware you are actually staying at the hotel and it then will be returned.
