Disappointed with hotel but as stated the staff are brilliant.
Pros:

The staff were fantastic. The food was very good. 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1 evening meal.

Cons:

Room 217 is very noisy due to traffic. The room was stifling and due to road noise the windows had to be closed. A fan was provided but air-conditioning is required. We have stayed before but not on the front of the hotel. It has put us off staying again.
