A grand hotel but a little jaded and dated in the public areas. Beautiful room, very spacious. Staff were excellent and
Pros:

Sumptuousness and grandeur from a bygone era

Cons:

Unfortunately the repairs to the pool / gym area meant the pool was not accessible for a lot of the time during our stay. Also the showers were not functional in the pool /gym

Awful
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Shower was awful, no pressure. Room was too hot and no way of turning heat down. There Was a wedding on and hotel was far too busy . Awful experience . Tried to complain and couldn’t get an email to send to any of the email addresses provided and the contact form on their website doesn’t work. I have never complained about a hotel before and I know this was cheap but I would rather have paid more for a better experience
