Friday night atmosphere
Pros:

I made this booking on behalf of my parents.
They commented that they enjoyed the busy Friday night atmosphere in the bar, and that the hotel itself was beautifully designed, and decorated.
They also thoroughly enjoyed their breakfasts the next morning.

Cons:

The bed in their room was too small (queen), and very little room around it.

Great place, great staff.
Pros:

Staff were great, very helpful when we asked to change rooms for a bigger bed. Breakfast was fantastic. The room was beautiful and very comfy.
