Not worth a visit
Pros:

The location of the hotel is great, but there are several issues to note. The rooms are quite small, and the staff is generally inattentive. We arrived at the hotel bar for a last drink at 11:40 PM, only to be told that we wouldn’t be served because they had closed the till, despite the bar being supposed to stay open until midnight.

The following evening, my husband tried to book a table for dinner at the bar, only to be told by the same young waiter that the restaurant was fully booked. Oddly enough, there was only one table occupied at that time.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the hotel provides coffee and tea in the room only on the first night, which seems inadequate for a 4-star hotel.

Great hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel in an ideal location for us as we arrived by train. Lovely spacious room. We arrived before check in but were able to leave our bags and when we came back they had already been taken to our room which was very helpful!
Breakfast was an amazing buffet.
Staff were most helpful at check in and again on leaving, particularly Gary.

Pros:

The a/c in the room struggled. Our tv did not work on the first day and we had to figure out how to fix it on our own. They had several large events which were loud and prevented us from enjoying the lounge as a group.

Pros:

Just okay/serviceable. Room was modern, but dusty surfaces and dust bunnies on the ground. Shower lever was broken, but my husband was handy and fixed it. Front desk was just okay too when we asked for advice to get around. Also Expedia drink credit could only be used on alcohol, which was really stated and hotel wasn’t willing to accommodate with another beverage.
