Comfortable hotel and welcoming front desk staff. Great location and we enjoyed the bar, Churchill’s. The hotel itself is sadly looking very tired in its original 1997 un-renovated form. The elevators are quite literally the slowest of any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The hotel deserves a renovation.
