The breakfast buffet had plenty of options and the passion fruit martini's are the bomb. The room was very comfortable and fairly quiet considering the work happening outside.

I paid in full by debit card when I checked in, the payment was approved, but I was still charged a deposit of £60, which shouldn't have been necessary. And now I have to wait for a refund. I have never been charged a deposit by other hotels when paying in advance.
