A little disappointing

Hotel was in a great location and room was nicely laid out and spacious. I do think it was overpriced for the following reasons: There were a couple of bits which could have been cleaned to a higher standard. One example being my daughter ended up with a pimple patch stuck to her from a previous guest! The shower did not drain very well so you were standing in a pool of water for the entire shower. Also, there are works going on outside the front of the hotel, which started with an early delivery at 6 in the morning of what sounded like rocks or stones. Then work began just before 8 with the very loud throwing of stones into the back of a truck. It was far from the calm and relaxing morning we had hoped for.

Its great! Love it! But remember - if you wont have your breakfast in the morning and want to leave it in the room until you come back (maybe in the afternoon) - inform the front desk or put the notes on the desk :)

Stayed here several times. Very central but quiet. Nice rooms etc. The staff on reception are always very pleasant. Only reason I marked it down was that housekeeping started knocking on doors at 9am. That is far too early given that check out is 11.

We went for a birthday getaway and thought it was great. Handy location, friendly and attentive staff, and comfortable room. The breakfast hamper was lovely, not had that elsewhere and it felt like quite the treat. The room could have done with some minor TLC, but that's being picky. Would go back.
