Long walks with a comfortable bed. Bring earplugs.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean and the cleaning staff were very friendly. The staircase was shallow and easy to use, which was good because the wait for a lift could be extensive.

Cons:

Noise from the street outside was constant, the windows didn’t block it and even from the fifth floor it was noisy all night. The lobby was always full of people queuing for the restaurant or check in. The bar was overpriced. Toilet paper was cheap and nearly useless.

Friendly staff, beautiful hotel. Couldn't have been more perfect
Pros:

Everything was amazing, all staff we encountered were very friendly, hotel was beautiful. Gym and pool were perfect and breakfast was really tasty. We upgraded to a sea view room and were so pleased we did. I have nothing negative to say at all, this was 10000x better than my experiences with Marriott chain hotels

Lovely staff in hotel, perfect location, quiet and comfy room, amazing breakfast.
Pros:

Room was cool which was great in the hot weather. Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. Facilities were available but we didn't use them on this occasion.

Cons:

There were some stains on the quilt, which was a concern. I also think there needs to be a message about the available car park at busy times, it's a very small car park and the car park itself is quite a tight space to get around when busy.
