Hi Karen,As QT credo goes, average just isn’t acceptable. We’re sorry we didn’t bring the dazzle this time - but next time we’ll add all sorts of razzle, promise. We’ll consider this our reminder to keep our extraordinary levels in check at all times. Ante, upped.

The lady who works Room Service at nights is an absolute delight. She always put an ice cold water and a sneaky chocolate in with her delivery. I didn’t catch her name, but a lovely lady!!! Thank you

Spick, span and all decked out in design-led details - that’s usually us. We’re so sorry you found our rooms to be anything less. We’ve passed along your feedback so we can get everything sparkling again.
