"I've stayed here several times and the staff is excellent every time I go! They are helpful, accomodating and pleasant. The hotel itself is beautiful but I think it is starting to show signs of being dated. There aren't many amenties but there are spaces to work and a restuarant to eat. Most things are walkable from the hotel. Standard rooms are an okay stay but I would recommend upgrading if you can."

"I want to love this property because staff are amazing (although everyone appears to be younger and I’m sensitive to age discrimination) and location really works for me but there are some obvious flaws… the large awkward inner bathroom door being the first, a floating column in the room being another, lighting being yet another (bathroom lighting is awful… too bright, no nightlight sensor), impossible to read bodycare labels, and poorly operable hairdryer and clothing steamer. Bed and linens are good quality, appreciate the complimentary bottled water, and loved the breakfast options and drinks menu (but quality of mixed drinks was uneven). This was my second time here and service has notched up but some things are not keeping up with recent trends and comfort. Still a better than average experience."
