we love the Dean!

very welcoming and helpful front desk staff. pool and gym amenities were impressive! Rooms facing the pool/courtyard should be wary that the pool opens early and noise travels! But we slept well.

Great staff but disappointing room

First of all the staff were brilliant and have no complaints about them. Also foyer and reception area were very cool. However.... we were in a mod pod room which was very small. It also backed onto the pool which is a jacuzzi and at 6 30am it was turned on and guests were using it from 7am This meant we were woken early with no chance of getting back to sleep. The rooms opposite looked directly into ours which meant no privacy unless we pulled the blind right down and the walls were so thin we could hear the people in the room next to us talking and even heard their vibrate. There are other rooms im the hotelwhich maybe better so avoid the mod pod pool room if possible.
