Huge room, bed & terrace family room (7th floor), lovely smiley staff, great breakfast. Bad sofabed.
Pros:

Booking a family room (couple and 1 kid) meant we got a huge room, kingsize bed plus a ginormous terrace. Weather was rubbish but hey ho.
All staff were friendly, smiley and efficient. Breakfast was excellent (3 types of eggs!)

Cons:

The sofabed was the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. (Daughter kid got the bed, mum got relegated!) Fortunately not 2 adults on the sofabed which would have been even worse. There is room for a real bed. Scrap sofabeds they are always terrible but this one was worse than terrible. Also very lumpy pillows.
Encourage staff to notify lift only go to the 6th floor and then find the stairs.

Awful!
Pros:

Was clean and food was nice.

Cons:

Groups of children banging doors causing so much noise running around all the floors we couldn’t get to sleep till after 1am we came from Edinburgh had been awake since 5 am drove 6 hours for our girls dance competition couldn’t get to sleep due to the children (boys from football group) and (girls from a cheerleading group) being unattended by there parents while they where in the bar the boys pulling there trousers down in lifts infront of our younger girls and they where just going up and down in the lifts so other people couldn’t use them was ridiculous even the staff where struggling to control the situation but they tried there best because manager wasn’t there, Can’t fault them. But our girls suffered today at competition due to this and it’s very ridiculous how nothing could done because they were a large group but everyone else had to suffer! Even the staff said there had been so many complaints I won’t be back at this hotel and I am taking this further to get a refund and possibly leaving a bad review. We had video evidence of this and I also had girls screaming in few rooms down for me.

Pros:

The breakfast with kids eating free was good value

Cons:

The room was hot
We stayed Friday night and our room was right opposite loud venues making noise
The window wouldn't close so we couldn't shut the noise out
The carpet in the room was loose
One plug socket in the whole room spare to charge devices
