The rooms were spacious and clean. They had a variety of pillows to choose from. The mattress was very comfy. Breakfast had enough options but wasn’t extensive. Really nice service to help us. The rooms were very quiet for instance we were right near the lift and heard nothing. We would stay here again.

Fantastic hotel

The only problem that I had was that the blanket wasn't very thick and I was cold. I couldn't find a second one. I had to turn the air con up and put a jacket over me because it was that cold.

Comfy beds and modern room. Unfortunately, the staff on arrival were very uninterested and didn’t even discuss the breakfast I’d booked etc. That was after they sat on the phone for 5 mins without acknowledging me. When I called to ask about breakfast (which was super disappointing itself), I was met again with the same uninterested tone. When we approached the room, we saw a toilet brush left at our front door. It stayed there for the entirety of the stay. Gross. There was rubbish poking out under one of the beds (a jelly cup or something). As mentioned, the breakfast was very disappointing and very mediocre. I regret spending the money.
