Lovely decor and design, comfy beds. Very clean. Check in and staff generally need a little more polish to be considered truly 5 star. Room service dinner was nice apart from chunky chips with the fish and chips were hard.

We had a very nice stay. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was comfortable and clean, although the windows could have done with a wash. TV was a bit complicated to use, but good. Great WiFi. Breakfast was excellent.
