Good quality well equipped room, nice turndown service, but disappointed with its location and size compared to our reservation. Reserved a classic king size bed (with views) to be told on arrival we were being ‘upgraded’ to deluxe queen size room. Up on top floor with with no views (sloped ceilings and skylights) and a small bathroom. Other than size of bed and square footage, it’s hard to see the difference between the rooms on the website descriptions, so can easily be charged for a lesser room at a higher rate. I then discovered I was overcharged (over and above the £50 hold for incidentals). Given incorrect information on the coral bar last orders time. Just needs a bit more honesty and transparency. I doubt we will return sadly.
