We were allocated a disabled room which was not what was booked through Hotel's. com. We were also lead to believe that the underground car park was included in the price as was the case when I stayed here before on several occasion,in stead we had to pay an additional fee. The hotel is also going through restorations although we had been told this at time of booking.

Hotel is in great location and was very clean, unfortunately it os dated and in need of updating/a refresh. Beds weren't very confortable and there was a lot of noise during the night from other residents shouting in the hallways for prolonged amounts of time. Staff at reception and breakfast were very good, helpful and polite. Breakfast quality wasn't great but view was lovely. Leisure faciliies were tired - pool cold and jacuzzi disappointingly not open.
