Fluff and stuff
Pros:

The location was perfect and the staff were very friendly. The reception area and cocktail bar, and our double window bedroom at the front of the hotel was also nice.

We appreciated being told on arrival that there was a Debs Ball taking place in the hotel that night and that we would see and hear them between 7-10pm and not after that as they kept them in a different part of the hotel. This turned out to be exactly the case. We observed the lovely dresses from our first floor front bedroom window when they arrived by bus, and were not disturbed at all later on in the night or next morning.

Cons:

We were told the door might be difficult to open in our bedroom due to the new thick pile carpet. It was indeed hard to open but we didn't mind that. However, the carpet was wet in the central part of the room. We reported it, and were told that perhaps housekeeping had washed it. I don't know why a new carpet would need to be washed, but maybe there was a good reason. We couldn't walk around the room in socks as they got wet. They did offer to put in extra heaters while we were out, but we thought the room might get too hot to sleep in then.

There were brand new towels in our bathroom, which was nice, but everyone knows new towels need a wash before use. We couldn't really dry ourselves with them, and we laughed when we emerged from the bathroom covered in fluff!.
