I liked the centralized location. The hotel staff were amazing. The staff upfront Margaret at the reception desk is the epitome of hospitality. Margaret is a dream. I payed for two nights of dinner for two adults. I visited the restaurant the last night i stayed there unfortunately, my experience was ruined by a manager who came up to my table interrupting my experience by demanding that I pull out my phone and rate his restaurant right there in front of him. I didn't comply to his ridiculous request. I thought it was rude.

I would not chose to stay in this hotel again and would not recommend it to anyone else. On arrival at the hotel at 2pm I was informed that our room (family suite) was not ready (even though the check in time is 2), we waited 45 minutes when one of the staff said she would go and check, came back with a key card for our room, handing it to us whilst not even looking at us as she was too busy talking to someone else - so rude. When we went up there was still housekeeping staff making the bed so we had to wait outside in the corridor. When we went into the room it smelt really badly of damp - the whole hotel had this smell but this was awful. We were only staying for a short while as we had an early flight otherwise we would have moved to another hotel as there would have been no point moving to another room as we could imagine this problem to exist throughout.
