Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Good location - rooms hit and miss
Have stayed before - it’s a great location and rooms are spacious. Stay this time was sadly spoilt by having a room on the first floor above the restaurant / bar. Music played until late, staff not particularly helpful. A couple of other issues with the room - some TV channels didn’t work, toilet was blocked and music started again for breakfast… wouldn’t stay again.
