The BAR was great. The breakfast was also excellent. It had a very friendly floor manager on duty. The staff were lovely, always available for assistance. I would come back ANYTIME.
the navigation from the rear carpark to reception involved using a lift to floor 1, then walking across corridors to another lift on floor 0, inconvenient.
