Beautiful lobby, great breakfast.. tea not brilliant (if you know, you know. Lifts and corridors are shabby, room was clean but tired furniture and mattress was very firm (preference). They lock you out of your room on checkout day before checkout which was annoying.. No turndown service but on the first night I had a muffin in our room with a note address to someone else 😂.. All in all not quite what it used to be.. which is a shame.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room’s bathroom was not functional and the water constantly overflowed from the shower. It was horrible. After a day of complaining, they changed our room a the new room didn’t have a functioning heater. I wouldn’t stay there again, expensive but the service do not match the price…. Not even a holiday inn would have been that bad!
