Great city views. Close to the motorway. The hotel itself was beautiful. The room was great and the highlight was the restaurant. One of the best burgers I’ve had! The infinity pool at night was the cherry on top.

The service between the staff felt inconsistent. On check in the man that checked us in was lovely and let us know what was included in our package. When we went to utilise our package we felt weird as none if the staff seemed to know what we were talking about (eg: welcome champagne, room credit & parking).
