Pros:

We love to stay at the Duke. Unfortunately we were turned away as the hotel had to be closed for an essential maintenance issue. I believe all guests were allocated to the Moxy across the road. We only found out when we tried to book in.

Cons:

Very difficult review as it was not the hotels fault I guess.
As it happened the stay at the Moxy was brilliant.
