Was not made aware until I arrived that the hotel did not offer room service or food apart from breakfast, despite being advertised as otherwise. Be aware the property has lots of stairs, no lifts and staff do not offer to help with luggage all in all not very luxurious.

Stopped in room 613 for 1 night with my family, the room itself was nice and so was the bathroom. Unfortunately the bed was so hard it was a terrible nights sleep and the pull out sofa bed was so bad that in the end we pulled the mattress off and put it on the floor which was marginally better. I do not believe that this room should be advertised as sleeps 4 due to the poor quality of the pull out bed. I have given the rating as average and not worse due to the helpful staff but unfortunately would not consider going back.

Uncomfortable hotel
Booked a stay for wife and I along with our two kids. They put us in a one room with a pull out sofa beds the kids had to share. Both the bed and sofa bed were extremely uncomfortable. Dust on the shades, water stain in the ceiling and not very helpful in addressing our concerns. I wanted to cancel our second night because it was so bad and they wouldn’t give us a refund. It was only until hotels.com got involved when they canceled it for us.
