Wonderful

Very nice hotel, we really enjoyed our short stay. The reception staff were excellent and our room was beautiful and very spacious. We would definitely stay here again.
Parking was a nightmare. Location 200m from the hotel but the roof was incredibly low and you need to drive into a narrow lift with the car to park in a dimly lit basement car park. If you have an SUV, beware. It’s horrendously narrow. Breakfast was buffet style meaning food was sitting dried out and not particularly fresh. Expected more from this hotel. On a positive staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable
