Last minute 2 night stay. Staff were polite, and helpful. Didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t comment on the food
Pros:

Took my mate for her birthday. We was very surprised by how nice it was. We was on the top floor was very hot due to heat wave but the staff was more than accommodating by supplying an extra: will definitely visit again.

Cons:

Lift was very slow. Slight price thank goodness for booking.com discount.

Fine for the money but nothing special
Pros:

It was close to the attractions and well connected

Cons:

The pool was dirty - water and sides and changing area.
Breakfast didn’t start until 8am but we needed to be out before then so only had fruit as an option when I’d paid for breakfast.

It was pleasant, apart from the sausage.
Pros:

I enjoyed a nice swim in the morning before I went to work. It was strange having to cross the back ally in my swimming costume and flip flops whilst people were unpacking an truck load of kitchen stock 🙃

Cons:

The were curley little black body hairs all in the bottom of the bath tub. The breakfast sausage was weird. They do not look or taste like that from the butchers where I live.
