"Very family friendly hotel with a common playspace in lobby, microwave + fridge in studio room, great blackout shades. The issue we had was on housekeeping on our final day -- the room didn't get cleaned until 8p despite multiple pings and us being out of the room all morning and afternoon"

"We stayed in an executive king room for the weekend for my daughter's 12th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were extremely well looked after by all of the staff and we were very impressed with the hotel, especially the VIP lounge which we had access to due to booking an executive room. As well as this, the hotel provided some lovely birthday gifts for my daughter, which she was very excited to receive when we arrived in the room. Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we will definitely be back again. Thank you!"
