Pleasant stay with very helpful staff.
Pros:

The breakfast was fine although it was very busy on the Sunday morning and some food had run out. They managed to get some more after a wait.

Cons:

We had difficulty getting the TV to work and we needed to get some staff to help. Unfortunately the picture continued to be very dark.

Pros:

We were there for a social event. The meal was delicious, the staff were lovely and the bedroom was a great size. The safe and fridge were a great extra.

Cons:

We found the room cold on arrival. We went out so it didn't matter so much. An extra pillow would have been helpful too.

Pros:

Good price for a small suite. Staff were very helpful.

Cons:

Constant hum from the heating, presumably. I was at the end so may have been just that room. Common, though in some hotels.
Very short staffed. 1 person at breakfast and they were dealing with a conference as well.
Hottest the shower would go was just about warm enough but it needs to be hotter.

Pros:

Nice

Cons:

I booked a double room originally and then a mate phoned to say he wanted to go. I upgraded to a twin. The next morning he couldn’t go so I messaged the hotel to ask if I could revert back to the double. I didn’t get a reply. I phoned them directly and they said I could have the double but didn’t know about a refund for the difference. I arrived on Sat and they said I had to have a twin as no double available 😡
