10/10 Excellent
"Love this hotel and I have stayed many times however a few things I wish the hotel would improve on that I’ve noticed on each stay. The service at the bar and sports bar is very slow and not efficient. We would order more drinks but seems to take 30mins for a drinks order to arrive even when not busy. I think the hotel loses out because of this. Also there isn’t anywhere to dry hair in the rooms while sitting. The mirror at the vanity table is too high. Breakfast is amazing which lots of choice. However the staff are so lovely and the hotel is lovely space and very clean and I will stay again."
