"The hotel and our room were a 10 on a 10 scale. The staff unfortunately seemed just plain tired. No welcome smiles- neither at the reception nor the dining. Maps of the town were impossible to read. The breakfast servers stood around talking. Never came by to check on us or refill our coffees. There was no concierge and many of the staff were new and seemed to know nothing about the town. Truly- a very surprisingly unfriendly experience. But loved the hotel!"

"Lovely room, lots of useful amenities including Nespresso machine as well as kettle, bathrobes, etc. Comfortable bed. Staff very helpful and friendly. Lovely continental breakfast. Just a few comments, only a low stool, no chair in room, no wardrobe, just 3 hooks and 4 clothes hangers, bathroom had nowhere to put washbasin, and towels on rail high on wall above loo, so difficult to get to. We understand the hotel has only just been refurbished so staff said they would pass these comments on. We would definitely stay here again."
