"Stylish, smart, comfortable and chic - I loved this hotel. Food choices were great - especially breakfast. The "Cosy" room choice is definitely a cosy room, but it's well appointed and comfortable. Bar - seriously good, very good choice of drinks. Staff were great, everyone seemed invested in our stay being a good one. Top marks."
