Cons:

The food was definitely not 4*. My fish & prawns were so overcooked I sent it back. Morning breakfast staff were not helpful, 7 minutes to fetch me butter for my child's toast. Mould in the bathroom on the tiles & ceiling. The drawers dont work properly in the rooms & the rooms are so stuffy due to windows being bolted closed. Our time there was definitely not worth the money, We have stayed in B&B way fancier for way less. We were super disappointed:(

I was disappointed - expected more from a 4 star hotel.
Pros:

It was convenient because the Conference was at the hotel. Most staff were friendly.

Cons:

The room was dark, not enough lighting to work at night. The hairdryer was not working. I found my dirty dishes outside my room the following morning. I ordered a breakfast pack the day before that was not prepared for the time that I had requested.
