Pros:

Lots of choice at Breakfast and the staff (especially the older chap in the restaurant) were very plesant. Breakfast area overlooking the canal and boats.

Comfy bed. Decent nights sleep

Cons:

Took ages to check in. New system apoarently. Paid on my card on arrival. They said the card pament had not gone through. Although i could see it in my banking app, and showed them. Went on to say same thing had happend to the prevous customer! So why interrogate me? Not good customer service when given my room key. I asked what room number it was, as she didnt say. To be told 'it says it on the card'!
