Pros:

Andrea was fantastic when my mother in law fainted she is an absolute credit and can not thank her enough
Breakfast was very good a lot of variety
Room was lovely
Beds was comfy

Cons:

There was lipstick on the cups in the room
And the noise that came from the window from the traffic on the road was non stop even tho the window was shut it sounded as if it wasn’t you would expect little noise with it being a new building
didn’t have a restful sleep
If I was to stay again I would ask for a room away from the road

Subpar hotel, not worth money
Pros:

Stayed here for a wedding. Staff not great most have bad/blasé attitude like they don’t want to be there. Vegan food subpar and breakfast options for vegans not great. Cleanliness of hotel and room not great, only one towel for 2 of us.

Cons:

Staff, cleanliness of hotel, food options, no water in rooms, cleaners entering room before check out and before waiting for a response.

Cons:

No Air conditioning in the rooms. It was so unbelievable hot. We booked into the hotel for 2 nights as we were attending our son's wedding on 28th June 2026. The temperatures outside were unbelievablely hot which I understand its not the normal temperatures for June however a five star hotel with air conditioning around the hotel but not in the rooms where you are supposed to chill and relax. The hotel supplied 1 fan to oscillate the air in the room however it was warm air. I had make up and hair set for the wedding and trying to get ready in the room was horrendous

Pleasant but a few details lets it down.
Pros:

Room was modern and clean.

Cons:

Room was far too warm, I opened the window but as there is a main road very close, the noise (along with the room temp) prevented me getting a good nights sleep. Also, blind does not keep light out.
