Pit stop before early morning flight.
Pros:

As a family of 2 adults and 2 kids we stayed in the peninsula suite. This was a great room for an overnighter for an early morning flight.

We took a shuttle to the airport at 4am and there was no issue or delay in getting one organized for us.

The room itself was pretty standard but beds were comfortable and very little noise.

Staff were great, friendly and happy to help.

Cons:

The rooms could do with some updating and a good clean. You can see the dust above the wardrobe and kitchenette area. Didn't like that it had a shower curtain on the bath, water went everywhere.

We ate dinner at the restaurant. Very expensive wouldn't recommend going there for meal after meal.

Could not fault a thing!
Pros:

We stayed here from rural canterbruy to enjoy a weekend in the city to celebrate a birthday. From the welcoming check in, to a room upgrade, to the exceptionally clean room and facilities including an extremely well maintained pool we couldn't fault a thing. A beautiful hotel that we had underestimated many times driving past. We had a wonderful time and the check out staff also were fantastic and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back.
