Ever felt like sardines

Location is great, breakfast was great, service was great but the room was so small. We had a family room with a sofa bed and a full sized bed. We also had a double buggy for a 3 year old and a 6 month old. We had myself who is disabled and my daughter who is mother of the children. Even when the sofa bed was folded there was just no room to get around. I struggled with my walking stick and my 3 year old grandson bumped his head often while playing due to the height of the facings. I genuinely believe the rooms are suitable for adults only and I don’t think sofa beds should be squeezed in as the rooms are small enough.

All the staff were fabulous from the front desk to the breakfast staff to the housekeeping.. Breakfast was hot and awesome everyday Will be back there and would highly recommend to everyone Great access to shopping, they also went out of there way to find us a wheelchair rental company ( that dropped off and picked up from the hotel) If you book any bus tours you are literally right across the street from the pick up and drop off location

miserable night

I have stayed in this hotel many many times over the last 8 years and enjoyed my time. This visit was disappointing. I was allocated room 462 which only has a wall as a view. The bed was so hard it was difficult to sleep and until past 3 am very noisy neighbours . This is all unusual. I am a business client and have meetings all day - not good !

Great location, great hotel, needs improvements

Really friendly staff, nice breakfast NEGATIVES - Plug socket for hairdryer is literally on the floor, and if like me you cannot bend so low, you cant use the hairdryer in front of the mirror, or plug in the iron, certainly not guest friendly and i would not stay again
