The room was very nice, bed and pillows very comfortable. The staff were very good and service was excellent. I was very disappointed with the breakfast. I was expecting a fresh cooked breakfast, full English or eggs Benedict etc that the on line menu gave. It was a buffet breakfast that was cold and poor quality sausage and bacon.

The room we were offered should NEVER have been rented. There is an extremely low beam running through the room. You need a ladder to see out of one of the windows, the other one is useless. The hotel has a lift that only services some rooms. The rest of the hotel rooms require navigating several flights of stairs. So if you have heavy luggage, you are in trouble. They do not really have anyone to help you, so you are on your own. When we complained the person on duty said she couldn't do anything about it unless we upgraded to a much more expensive room, which we were forced to do for our own safety. Luckily we found Patrick, who was the only one who understood customer service at the hotel. He upgraded our room without a 2X change in price! I would not recommend this hotel.
Window in ceiling
Dangerous beam. This room should never have been rented.
You have to get a chair to view out this window.

Staff were excellent Breakfast & Dinner superb but the room was very disappointing and not value for money.we had chosen a premium room with a river view, the river view was a very, very tiny dorma window only viewed if your were 6 foot. There was a beam across the access for one side of bed so we had to leave the bathroom light on all night in order not to crack your head.The TV was to the side of bed so impossible to watch this was not a premium room with a river view
