    "Fantastic stay. The hotel has been beautifully renovated and is super glam - don’t skip Starlite Bar on the top floor! Our room was one of the standard ones so a little cozy, especially the bathroom, and a few things felt a little tired (chipped paint, pedestal sink was a tad loose, toilet paper holder was broken) but it was quiet and clean, and the bed very comfy. Staff was also very friendly and welcoming. We’d absolutely stay here again."
