Main lifts under renovation so instructed to use back service lifts which were via doors and corridors. Our room was then located right next to the back corridor door which slammed after each person used it! Balcony was basically a ledge looking at the rooms along side us no chairs so pointless. Reception staff were polite and friendly.

Bedside lamps had usb charging, room was a good size for our overnight stay, bed was very comfortable. Only draw back was if you want breakfast at the reduced price it has to be ordered the day before, we didn't arrive until after the cut off time, so we sourced breakfast from a different establishment.

The hotel is in a good location. The staff are welcoming upon arrival. The breakfast was pretty good from a good variety of food selection to choose from. The food was constantly topped up. The room was renovated, nice interiors though the television is situated weirdly. Amenities were there in the room with the loveliest comfy bathrobe. The lift is slow so allow extra time for it.
