Positives and negatives. The staff did their very best to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. I booked a mid week mid winter getaway but was not given a particularly optimal room. Very close to the lifts; this is a busy hotel and I knew the lift noise would disturb me. Reception very swiftly found me another room; not as large or as nice but more quiet. Neither room had any real aspect or view though. I was not paying top dollar, but still in my opinion quite a hefty price. The breakfast was excellent; but the few features that the hotel offered - gym, pool, health club were all closed, and lots of drilling noise could be heard from my room. This was a disappointment, as the weather was not great, and the use of the facilities would have helped.
