As a business stay, ok.
Pros:

Refurbished rooms are comfortable.

Cons:

Tea or coffee with breakfast would have been nice, especially when its been ordered and breakfast service is not busy. As a regular at this hotel I would like to say this is the first time this has happened but it isn't.

Pros:

Breakfast and the spa were absolutely lovely. The room was nicely equipped and bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and parking was very easy.

Cons:

I wouldn't recommend having dinner at the hotel as it didn't quite meet expectations. Our room was in the basement of the hotel so would have been nicer to stay on a higher floor.

This is not 4 stars!
Pros:

The spa was lovely.

Cons:

The room was horrible, it had an old musty smell. There was a dirty tissue left in my robe. There was a dirty towel in amongst clean towels. The furniture was old and falling apart.

Pros:

Early bird dinner was lovely, breakfast was good but nothing special, the usual standard buffet breakfast, although the fruit was hard and not very nice.

Cons:

Some of the furniture in the bedrooms is a bit shabby, even though the rooms are fine and clean.
