This clearly hasn't always been a Sofitel; while the room follows the same basic design of its Heathrow cousin, it's significantly smaller with a bathroom more reminiscent of a Premier Inn. There's nothing wrong with a Premier Inn, but if you're paying Sofitel rates... Checking in was good, with some great staff members, but dining in the bar want quite so slick. The food was fine, but service was painfully slow, if still very polite and professional. Overall there's not a lot to actually complain about, but there's also nothing to get excited about. Distinctly average.
