"The room was not perfectly clean, but the view was beautiful, and the location was perfect- right in between the bus stop and the main attractions of the city. So close to everything! The staff was kind enough to keep our luggage while we toured after we had checked out. The pub was perfect after a day of wandering"

"Breakfast was not the best experience. Lots of getting up and down to collect items and get tea/ coffee. It was the only 4 star hotel on our trip where hot drinks were not served at the table. Unusual hot food service where the hot food buffet was cut off by a barrier and could not be accessed individually but had to wait in line until a server came over when they were free"
