There's no hiding that this is an event hotel, so expect conferences, team building, quarterly sales meetings, and the like to dominate proceedings during the week. That means the bar can get a tad noisy, but the rest of the hotel stays pretty quiet. The staff were excellent throughout, happy to help and go off-menu for most things (although they've no idea how to make a proper Old Fashioned cocktail!) while the room itself was perfectly acceptable. Uninteresting, but clean and reasonably spacious. That really covers the entire venue actually - it does the job it's meant to do, and does it quite well, but there's no air of exclusivity, no panache. It's just another professional hotel.
