Pros:

Everything. Lovely view, friendly helpful staff, great facilities, location was excellent and the best hotel bed I have ever slept in.

Cons:

*Small thing: bathroom glass wall connecting onto bed room was a little odd, didn't particularly fancy seeing my husband using the loo.
*Major thing: Didn't stay longer!

If you can get a decent rate, a great place to stay.
Pros:

Good, central location. Clean and comfortable.

Cons:

No complaints other than a request for the same room a few weeks later when we were to be heading out of the country, the price was double. Needless to say, that was ridiculous so we found another spot.

The location was everything.
Pros:

The location is excellent. Very comfortable room- we got a larger suite- for a long stay.

Cons:

The cleanliness was very poor. And some complimentary items, like bathrobes, disappeared as our stay progressed.

good location
Pros:

the location

Cons:

the Breakfast room is too small for so many guests, so the breakfast was kind of messy with long time waiting on a queue and having to sit without the proper cleaning of the tables after the previous guest.
