Liked: Cleanliness
While the dim lighting was obviously intended to create a particular atmosphere, it did make navigation and access awkward. Once in the room, found casting to tv didnt work (no sound) and reception for normal channels patchy. One teabag per person was also a little disappointing. Left the hotel for a run in the morning and was back hours before check out time only to find room / access keys deactivated. Location made for easy walk into city but access by car not straightforward due to road closures for light rail construction-which wasn't mentioned on any check-in or booking sites. Overall, was ok but didn't love it.

It was nice but I expected more. The bed was very uncomfortable. The buffet breakfast wasn’t that great. And I found some of the staff not that friendly. The gentlemen who checked me out was lovely. The overall hotel was nice. The food was good. And the electric blackout blinds were cool.

Overall a great property. Rooms are very comfortable and staff are wonderful. Only suggestions for improvement would be removal of rubbish during the room clean and perhaps better options for those seeking more than vegetarian food (as the onsite restaurant is vegetarian) Will certainly be back

Love staying here for the quiet rooms and styling. Some elements are getting a little tired and stay seemed a little unsure off themselves at times. Love the free mini bar but missed bubbles on arrival that we've had before.
