Our only peeve was that we weren't allowed to tip the staff. I dont understand why we couldn't when we felt they did a good job. Overall,a lovely stay and id recommend the Copthorne Tara.for a pleasant experience. we were not allowed to tip the staff,which

I decided to give the hotel another chance. I regret that. The room was awful, dated, toilet didn’t flush properly, shower head had minimal water coming out with more water running out of the back of it. The noise from the room next door at 4am was so so loud till approx 6am. Minimal sleep had. However the gentleman on concierge looking after our bags was a credit to the hotel. A true diamond in a very poor, dated in need of major TLC hotel.
