Beautiful place to stay but something needs to be done to the room to prevent so much noise
Pros:

Very modern & clean with nice staff

Cons:

Reception wasn’t always manned & although the room was fantastic & bed was comfortable we could hear every noise from outside and the hallway which meant we got no sleep

Pros:

The hotel was very nice, also a bit fancy. They have their own parking which is also nice. And when we were there, they had a live singer, which sounded good.

Suitable for what I needed for work
Pros:

Convenient location for work and ample free parking
Comfortable bed and quiet hotel for sleep

Cons:

Stayed several times and the rooms always feel cold. I had to bring a mini heater with me and good job i did the radiator was behind the thick curtains when they were closed so heat didn’t really spread into room.

Would stay here again
Pros:

Good location for my place of work.
Nice rooms of a good size.
Clean and comfortable.
Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Nice restaurant and tasty food.

Cons:

The subdued lighting in the room was atmospheric, but I did miss a strong light for specific tasks including working and a make-up/shaving mirror in the bathroom.
I didn't request a quiet room, and was in a room facing the road.
