Disappointed

Very disappointed - kettle in room didn’t work and it was a struggle for the staff to find a replacement, was not a double bed but two singles put together. We had a wet room and was not expecting that, water was all over bathroom floor and no where to dry towels etc. only had water in room on first night, asked for more and told they don’t refill after first night stay - would not recommend

A little tricky finding the reception area due to the conversion from a garrison. Limited parking, but public parking nearby. Had a great breakfast and wonderful service. Couple of craft beer options in the full bar. Room was small but comfortable.

Great location but apartment was highly overpriced at about $500 per night with basic necessities such as a simple toilet paper holder and laundry capsules. No dishwasher either. If you stay in the apartments you have to fend for yourselves. Incredibly expensive for what it’s worth.

The online photos did not accurately reflect the apartments, which were actually in a separate building located about a three-minute drive from the main hotel. While the bedding was clean, the rest of the apartment appeared rougher than the pictures suggested. The overall value did not justify the price. Additionally, at check-out, I was unexpectedly informed of a £55 cleaning fee, which had not been disclosed during booking or check-in. Needless to say, I would not choose to stay at this property again.
