Superb hotel, incredible staff
Pros:

Hotel and facilities were absolutely top tier, location is excellent.

Also, I had a family issue that meant my wife and child could not travel with me for an event. I had prepaid which meant I wasn't entitled to a refund. The staff were able to come up with a solution that allowed a change and a partial refund, which was greatly appreciated. Could not be more thankful.

Un peu éloigné du centre
