Pros:

Location excellent. Have stayed previously. Room very satisfactory position

Cons:

Rooms were cold. Asked about heat and was told it didn't come on until after 5.00pm. Had to wear our coats if in the room day time. Wasn't on in morning either.. No food after 7.30pm which we would normally dine. Was told at reception "you don't expect the kitchen to stay open for 2 people " I was speaking to two other American guests in a restaurant who also were disappointed at the food arrangements.
