Dissappointing
Pros:

The location. Room was nice

Cons:

Reception staff quite upbrupt and answering phones while we were checking in/ out. Restaurant staff busy and distracted. Bar area like a waiting room due to dining tables in location. Food average and over priced. We did contact the hotel to offer feedack (constructively) bit no acknowlegment. Sums up the iverall customer experience.
