Our bed was not very comfortable. Quite a small room. Not much of a view. Overall not very spacious. Staffs could also be more helpful.

lovely, the location is brilliant close to shops so that saved it. Room was nice a clean! Beds even for a standard room
Pros:

Cleanliness

Cons:

Cleaners and valet parking men were lovely. reception need to smile a little more, or say hi. we see different ones all the time a few are nice (more the foreigner ones are friendlier than our European ones!) Breakfast was nowhere near as good as Cordis so we know to eat out. No gluten free savouries at the buffet breakfast we paid for.. wasted money on asking for gluten free bread and it came toasted but I know it was “stale”. I know gluten free. Not much of a selection for dine in too so we’d rather uber eats.
