Nice place
Great staff, very accommodating and helpful, really appreciate that.
Check in system was slow, not the staff- they were lovely- just the system they have to work with seems to be.
Servicing of room was unfortunately well below average of usual places but maybe the staff are directed not to wipe benches, etc, so not sure.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay there.

Highly recommend
The service was good class and the front office nanager at check in was engaging, professional and provided a warm welcome.
The only issue, which is really a personal option, the matress on the bed was very soft and provided little support.

Average all round at most
I arrived obviously at a busy time. 4 waiting to check in when I arrived and four more after me. One staff member doing check ins and was having technical difficulties with equipment. He really did his best not his fault but why was he on his own at a busy time. Surely the hotel knows its peak hours and should staff accordingly.
Hotel itself feels grubby and tired. Drained chairs by lifts etc.
Restaurant and bar staff in particular excellent.
