Very nice, will be back.
Pros:

Location was perfect. Didn't have breakfast because we had to meet up with other friends at another venue.

Cons:

It was very confusing finding the car park and then the access into lifts and room was a bit awkward. We are used to valet parking at most Hotels we go to and found this a little stressful when we were on a time frame. The wait at check in was also a little long. The guy in the coffee shop was very polite and rushed a takeaway coffee for me so I could travel home.

Pros:

Really nice pool and deck area.

The Executive Breakfast has lots of healthy options.

Cons:

Not enough electrical (outlets) in rooms, or they’re too low to the floor. Some USB-C outlets might be nice.

Pros:

This was my second stay here. Location is fantastic. As is the pool area and the drinks from the bar there.

Cons:

View from balcony and room overlooking a construction zone. Elevator wait is often long. Checking out line was also long, although I did appreciate the drink during this time.

Pros:

Room & facilities were lovely

Cons:

Noise - I was kept up to 5.30am by party in next room - complained at 2.00am, 3am & hotel finally sent security at 5.30am … should have been shut down at first call to reception
