Couple of small drawbacks otherwise excellent

Really nice hotel in a lovely location. The check in experience was messy and I can't believe that for over £300 for the night when we stayed there wasn't even a fridge in the room...everything else was excellent.

Great location and huge room

The hotel was very nice and centrally located. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue we had was the air conditioning was not working properly in the room on either night even after maintenance looked at it. The hotel made every effort to correct the issue and we’re very easy to work with.
