the lobby made a beautiful first impression on arrival. i remember it looked busy and popular. the staff were friendly and helpful. our room was beautiful and the nicest hotel room i had been to for a while.
i had lukewarm showers every day despite trying at different times. the first morning i expected to toast some fresh local bread but found only the cheapest hovis sliced available. i picked a slice up and found it mouldy.

great locationspacious roompoor choice
The location was great. The room also felt very spacious. I found the service at the reception to be really good during check-in.
The continental choice seemed very poor compared to my prior experiences. The coffee was from a machine. The cooked breakfasts were not up to the usual standards.
Rooms

The room decor was stylish and very clean. The bed was large and comfortable. I also noticed an extra seating area with two chairs and a small table near the window.
