A beautiful hotel with soft furnishings and cleanliness
Pros:

We loved the property and it’s history
The renovations are beautiful in the entrance and the restaurant.
The room was cozy. The bathroom was beautiful.

Cons:

There was a musky smell as you walked to the pool and the smell of chlorine
Unfortunately the pool is old. The facilities in the sauna and steam room were really bad. I didn’t use the gym but it looked looked up-to-date. Unfortunately the surroundings in that part of the hotel need updating and were really poor.

Comfortable and clean. Good location for theatre and shopping.
Pros:

Good location for the theatre.
Clean
Room is a good size for the 3 of us.

Cons:

Didn’t dislike anything about the property. It’s a 3 star so basic but all we needed.
Was noisy all night until 4/5am with an event on at Wetherspoons.

Good location.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful reception staff.
Nice room. Clean and comfy..

Cons:

Very confusing to actually get in to the parking area of the hotel as 'no entry' signs on approach. Very confusing and frustrating. Perhaps specific instructions should be given after booking
