Was okay
Pros:

Was in such a lovely location, the food was unreal and the cocktails were amazing

Cons:

Our room was sticking of fags, we did let the staff know and however they said they were full and they come up and sprayed freshener. We left the windows open For most evening but for myself who doesn’t smoke or does not like it it was bad. My hair was stinking of it when I was driving home.
