Beautiful hotel but bad experience

Disappointed, main floor room that had main hall door on one side and a van parked outside our window that prohibited us from opening our window. Loud on both sides. Event going on and van outside window was loading at 130 in the morning.Family room beds were odd, lights attached to headboards kept you from being able to sit back in bed, they were in the way, could hit your head if slept close to head of bed. Talked with staff in the morning and they apologized for the terrible experience. She tried to give us credit back for our room, but unfortunately because we booked through hotels.com a third-party she did not know how she could compensate us. We paid nearly US$300 for our room that night and I was very disappointed. She promised she would email us in someway shape or form to make it right and I have yet to receive any correspondence.

6/10 Good

Listed as a 4* hotel but yet small things like no tissues, hand cream or shower hats in the bathroom. Glasses not changed or fresh water on day 2 of our stay. The bed was just about made - the sheet wasn’t flatten so we had to make our own bed. Won’t be back - to dear for what you get.
Michael, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room 124 over looking heating system.

Everything great about the hotel except room 124. The room was right beside the heating system that kept us awake for 2 nights. We paid E388 for this noisy room and one would need google maps to find. We got a brick wall outside our window last stay. We won't be returning again.
Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very helpful polite staff. Room was clean and well presented.
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A little tired and dusty and thin walls (I could hear my neighbours on both sides and above me snoring, watching TV and walking about). Friendly staff

Family room

We stayed for a family wedding. Room was a bit small for a family room of 2 adults a teen-ager and and 8 year old. The room was very cold. Another family had a similar room and it was more spacious and warm.
