easy access great location helpful staff high standard clean housekeeping poor information detailed check-in late afternoon room service lack of glasses brandy glasses
The location was superb. Access to shops and restaurants was easy. I also found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The housekeeping was done to a high standard.
Check-in lacked detailed information which was frustrating. Our room was not made up until late in the afternoon. The lack of brandy glasses was strange when I ordered a brandy.

i found the staff to be helpful. the location was very convenient, close to many attractions. the room was spacious and clean. i am grateful for the excellent service i received.
the breakfast quality was not high. i thought the breakfast pastries tasted stale. also, i noticed the poorly signed parking bays were used by non-electric vehicles. the lifts were not working properly so we had to wait a long time.
