"Great location with very accommodating and friendly staff. Large variety for buffet breakfast with ability to order from the menu. My friend and I stayed for 4 nights. We used their valet parking and the car was always delivered promptly. I didn’t choose the highest level of room available, but the rooms were fine and had a safe for valuables. Great shower. "
"The staff were delightful, helpful and friendly; the buffet breakfast is great value with a very good selection of sweet and savoury treats.
There is an element of mystic when it comes to the roof bar which doesn’t make it very spontaneous to visit or welcoming, which I think is does the amenities a disservice."
"The hotel is nice and the rooms have high ceilings, but it needs a complete refurbishment. No view at all. 2 small windows opening to small row of backyard. The staff were nice. The bed was good and comfortable, and the breakfast was acceptable."
"I don’t think it’s worth the money. People who aren’t guests take up the facilities, lack of service in the “bars”, no light lunch menu or pool service. Room turn down doesn’t take place until after 4pm often conflicting with the time you want to return to your room for the day. Breakfast is very good and staff are friendly but seem overstretched. Doesn’t live up to what it advertises I’m afraid. Would stay somewhere else."
