Shape of the building is unique. Rang Rm Service for a bucket of ice. After 45 mins I rang again - no answer. I went down to the bar to get two glasses of ice. The vanity kits - especially the cotton wool pads to cleanse your face, are very cheap, both ripped on the first wipe. The parking arrangements really need to be looked at.

Nice hotel. Parking is a bit difficult as the layby outside is constantly full. Very disappointed that, having returned from the theatre at 9.30pm, couldn't get a drink at the hotel (we were hosting some very important (to me) clients). I understand that there was a function on the 9th floor bar, but maybe when that is the case, the lobby bar could stay open for a short while longer. Bar staff were fairly rude too.

Very slow check-in. Told room ready in 5 mins. Go back and then get told another 30 mins. Once in room receive a phone call to say card didn't go through. Car parking is troublesome even though valet. Parking rangers were booking people on our return from a day trip in the 5 min zone and nowhere for us to stop. Room itself was nice and bed comfortable although not 5 star standard. One day the room wasn't made up properly - bed not made well, bin not emptied, water not replenished.
