Pleasant stay, but an enormous amount of improvement required if it's meant to be. 4* hotel.
Pros:

The room was comfortable, & the food in the restaurant was good.
The staff were generally friendly, although the Spa was having an event, so we couldn't use the pool. The staff there were both condescending & unhelpful.

Cons:

There were no heated towel rails in the bathroom, so you are drying yourself with stale damp towels.
There is also no toilet brush.
The wardrobe is far too small for two people sharing & there are no drawers available, although the room could accomodate some.
Dirty glasses were uncleared & the table remained unwiped, leaving it sticky.
The lobby, though tastefully decorated , is incredibly draughty due to sliding , rather than revolving doors.
The bar staff need better training, a well stocked bar, but on the first night nobody could make a vodka martini, lack of basic knowledge?

Fabulous in every way!
Pros:

The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and were able to assist us with all our requests. The food in the restaurant was outstanding. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

As often happens in hotels, the television was not simple to use and there is rarely enough lighting in the rooms.
