The new part of the hotel that had been refurbished was great, we had a room booked in that section. We also had a second room booked which was in the older part of the hotel, which wasn't as up to date and modern. The hallways had seen better days. The staff were all friendly and helpful, no issues in that department. Even had a refund from the London pub when the calamari was not edible. Breakfast had a good selection of cooked and continental buffet. It was a bit too busy from 8:30am till 9:30am with the morning rush.

Room 3055 (handicapped) the safe was waaaay to low…couldn’t use it…can’t get down or back up, the shower opening is not wide enough for maneuvering in when you’re handicapped…Wensy was very helpful when the desk refused to help us with luggage (I am on a motorized wheelchair) as we had arranged for the day before, front desk check in was far too slow when we arrived and the food smells in our room started at 5 am and continued till 8 at night which was strong and nauseating at times…the food was good though, too reiterate the front desk was frustrating and not helpful
