Hi, we enjoyed our stay but the room wasn’t clean. There was a lot of hair on the floor through the room and bathroom and old food crumbs that were there when we arrived and weren’t cleaned when we had the room reset. It did make us wonder how clean the rest of the room was when we saw that. We hope that feed back helps. Many thanks, Meagan Frewin

Great city views. Close to the motorway. The hotel itself was beautiful. The room was great and the highlight was the restaurant. One of the best burgers I’ve had! The infinity pool at night was the cherry on top.
