Woeful, arogent to not advise people staying about the renovations especially with the room price
Pros:

Location is great

Cons:

Room was dark, windows were old and fell apart in the night. Loud renovation Work was being done all day so could not relax in the room. The provided car park is terrible , barely a space an expensive, with the work being done the tradesman's vehicle stopped you getting close with your luggage .. over all terrible stay after such a long wait an 17 hr flight !!

Well we spoke the receptionist and told her how dissatisfied we were and she said she would look into it! but we never h
Pros:

My husband and I were staying there for two nights.
Catering Staff were very nice
Although reception staff sadly unhelpful

Cons:

1)We spoke to a lady at receptionist and told her how unhappy we were with our room, she said she would look into it, but we didn’t hear anything.
2) Size of the bedroom, you couldn’t open the wardrobe door because the main door closer was jutting out.
3) The iron was fixed to the inside wall of the very very small clothes hanging area.
We were attending a wedding and had suits and dresses to hang, but sadly there was no room. So at night we laid our clothes on the floor and during the day we laid them on our bed.
4) The bathroom mirror was fixed so high I could only see the top of my head and my eyes this wasn’t just my problem as one of wedding guests also mentioned this to me
5) And to top it all off the fire alarm went off at 4a.m.
