Hotel is going through a refurb, room was spot on, which is the right way round, and the old dated areas became a source of amusement rather than frustration, great staff, would happily book again (although I did lose my jumper)

What a shame....
Booked in OK and given password for Internet. Had zero Internet in the room but full signal in the corridor. When I asked to be moved to a room with Internet I was told that the hotel was aware of a problem that meant there was no Internet in any executive room!!! Also, quite noisy air con and given no details as to how to adjust or turn it off! Room refurb is superb but I won't stay here again!
