Business Trip
The staff were great, the rooms were ok but need upgrading. The noise was really bad, with the planes going in and out of the airport it felt like I was on the end of the runway. Its a shame because the staff and food were really good. Unfortunately we wont be staying there again.

Left with a chill on this occasion
Ive stayed at this hotel approx 15 times in the last 2 years and its usually first class with great staff. This time, I was staying for a function so needed to iron my shirt and get showered. My review and low rating on this occassion was because there was no iron in the room and the water in the shower was freezing cold. I did mention this as I was dashing out and was offered to swap rooms but i said it was pointless at that point. The staff are great as always and tge breakfast is superb but safly the hotel failed me when I needed it most.
