Poor condition, poor customer service
Family room booked well in advance. Autumn stay. Room was very hot when we arrived- 27 degrees. Put fan system on straight away and went out for a few hours to let it cool down. Came back to find it at 27degrees. Window handle was missing so couldn't get any air in. Rang reception to be told fan system was broken in hotel and they wouldn't come to fix/ look at window. No spare rooms to move us to. Would not have stayed but we had had a drink with dinner out. No one slept as so hot and stuffy. Poor customer service. Would not stay again!

Just ok
We arrived early so we really appreciated getting a room right away. However, the overall feel of the place is just tired. You have to use your key card to turn on the lights, but they only stayed on for around 20 minutes and then you had to take the card out and reinsert it. Surprising that the only hotel in a sleek shopping area on the water isn't nicer.

Disappointed to find that the air conditioning for the WHOLE B"UILD"ING was not working. Whilst opening the windows did help slightly, the room still felt warm and humid. Nothing was offered from the staff/management as a consolation to the situation which was let down to what would have been a good experience.

Great location in Gunwharf to access shopping and bars. Friendly staff. Free parking for first 24 hours. Room compact but bed comfortable. However room and shower room was very tired and in need of a refresh.
