Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed was superb - probably the best night's sleep we've had in a hotel. It's in a great location for shopping, tourism and good eateries. Only slight negative was, we weren't told about needing £100 refundable deposit (which some people may not have to hand) and expected to produce photo ID, so keep those in mind if you decide to visit. We will be staying again!
