Disappointing. I won’t be back
At present, this hotel is notable for one thing that the Expedia property guidance doesn’t say and one thing it does say. First, the entire front of the building is covered in scaffolding and each room contains a notice warning of noise during the week - no mention of this whatsoever. Second, the property is described as upscale and 4-stars. Frankly, I am astonished. The lobby and downstairs public area is small and unwelcoming. The bar appears to be a drinks rack behind reception. The carpets were threadbare on the stairs and overdue replacement on my floor. The soundproofing on the external windows of the property is excellent but the internal muffling between the rooms and the corridor and floor above is dreadful - you could probably hear a mouse sneeze. My room was clean but the mattress mis-sized for the bed, to which my bruised shin can attest. Breakfast was okay but no more. Visitors on business will be disappointed by the flat-screen tv taking up 80 per cent of the desk.
