Easy accessible
Only issue was showers went from cold to scalding in seconds. If I had mobility issues or a young child I could have easily been badly burnt.

Exceptional Restaurant and Housekeeping Manager
Two exception staff. 1) Mr Jay the restaurant manager. Very courteous. He knows the menu inside out. 2) The manager of the housekeeping team. I did not ask for her name, but her professionalism stood out among the rest.

Ok but dated
It is a dated hotel. The carpet is old. My room was directly across form the lift entry so you could hear everyone waiting for there lift. the hot water would run out after 1 shower i dont think you would ever be able to fill a bath.
