Tired

Only one member of staff during check in (it was late so okay) and took half an hour to check in because of queues. TV reception was poor. Carpet in room was tired and needed cleaning. Bedding and bathroom were clean though

Enjoyed our stay

Our stay was good. Staff are friendly. Room is clean and breakfast is amazing. Improvement areas are: 1) city view is not maximised as the windows are not clean 2) smart tv is not reliable, tried to watch a movie in YT and internet was slow.

Not four star quality

For a 4 star hotel the room was of quite a basic standard. Although the room and the bathroom were very spacious, the decor was dated, the bedlinen basic, the lighting was poor and the thermostat didn't work properly so the room was quite cold. There were no blankets in the room so I had to ask for one and I was given another duvet instead. The tea/coffee making facilities were also very basic indeed.
