"We checked in late, arrived to our room and there was somebody else’s suitcase and backpack there. Receptionist quickly moved us to a different room of the same class. Not a big deal, but really last thing I want to be doing late at night."

"Great stay, always lovely staff and food and clean. Only small complaint is the tables in the room are not a good height to work at in an office desk capacity. I work from my room in between meetings and it can get uncomfortable. If there is a desk height table on request that would be amazing."
