"The first thing I want to commend the staff here. Fabulous service in everything we had to discuss/ request. I couldn't recommend the staff here enough. However the beds in this hotel...I can't comprehend how on earth anyone could think they are in any way shape or form acceptable in a hotel. Lumpy. Springy. The pillows felt like they were 50 years old lumpy with no shape. Thin. And no other choices. This isn't a difference between preferring a hard bed or soft. It's quite literally the WORST bed I've ever slept on. The staff offered to move us but the beds were no different. Eventually we ended up with 3 mattress pads and 2 extra duvets to try to make it acceptable. I very un comfortably got through the next 3 nights with very little sleep. Unfortunately I wouldn't stay there again because of this and it's a shame because besides that the hotel was wonderful. Good food. Excellent and helpful staff. Clean. Location. Please please please consider an upgrade on your bedding. Then maybe we'd come back on our next stay. It really is a pity."
