Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The Lounge area was very nice, lovely reception staff and great breakfast but any joy ends there. The corridor towards my room smelt so bad. My room was tired and the kettle was damaged and riddled with lime scale. There was also a very musty smell in the bathroom. However, the worst thing was that the sound of traffic filled my room all night snd kept waking me up. I’ve stayed here a few times and never heard the traffic so probably down to the location of my room 😞

It was nice and tidy. Not enough outlets on the bed side of the room. Had to stretch cords for chargers. 1 more outlet on the headboard side would make it easier.
