- CTCarolina Torres4 days ago5.0The rooms were amazing, the staff super friendly. The only downside was the restaurant being under refurbishment and the breakfast place had to be in the hall/small room. But working in the same environment we understood the situation. Hopefully the restaurant will open soon because it looks amazing as well.

- PCPeter ClarkOct 4, 20263.0Disappointed with beakfast layouts either cold or not cooked ie bacon must have just been shown the heat? Black pudding was non descriptive Disappointing Staff were pleasant and attentive though
- TTTomSep 30, 20265.0The double beds seem really small - hence the single beds are probably better (but not seen them yet) Being a IHG member, req a late checkout and this was kindly allowed
- DBDave BullSep 28, 20265.0We stopped overnight. We were pleased with the room and the choice for breakfast was very good. I did send an email regarding breakfast to the front desk.
