A bit of luxury to finish two weeks in UK.
Pros:

Will not use booking again
Pros:

You probably won’t read this or do anything about it BUT…. Hotel facility was nice…BUT….. only one towel in room for 2 people…. WiFi not work until employee came to room…..then worked…. heat control not work until employee came …and then it still did not work…. During the night…..Room was hot….All night sweat in bed with wet sheets results…. Then when arrived at hotel…. Shuttle service to airport all filled up….”booking” said shuttle and DID NOT say “need to reserve”….therefore we spent $50 USA dollars for a taxi to get to airport on time….. arrived at 4;40 at hotel and shuttle was full. Shuttle even when available held only 7 people running every 1/2 hour…. For a hotel “this” size”… with this many rooms? Will not use booking or go back to this hotel… even if it was a nice premise.

Cons:

Already mentioned

Pros:

We were on our honeymoon and appreciated the lovely hand written congratulations card from Brooke in reception. :) what a gem!

The location is great and the staff was lovely. Very clean too.

Cons:

The bed could’ve been more comfortable. Also, we were offered a celebratory class of champagne, but we never received it even after calling to follow up for it. It was a guide gesture though!

Lovey clean and inviting spot…would stay again for sure.
Pros:

The bed was extremely comfortable and the room very clean.

Cons:

The general lighting, when you first come into the lobby, is really quite dark, although in the evening, it added to the ambiance
