The rooms at the hotel were clean and looked modern. Unfortunately the building was having some renovations done during my stay so it was a bit awkward to find the front door, other than that the hotel is located in a really nice area with easy access to transport links.

We were charged for 2 rooms the night before we were to check in. When we reserved the rooms, was told to pay when we checked in. Then, when checking in, we were charged again for the 2 rooms. We were traveling with my sister who was to pay for her own room. Waited a long time at check in to get it straightened out. Later, I received a notice from my credit card company that all rooms for both nights were still charged to my card. Had to go back to the front desk and get it changed, again. We were not informed of the construction going on. Our room had no view out the window because of the scaffolding and workers so had to keep the curtains closed at all times. Reserved a king room and ended up with a queen. My sister had the room next door, great view, no scaffolding and a king bed. Very disappointed.

A pity about the scaffolding!

Booked for my birthday, and although we enjoyed our stay, we had called the hotel direct back in December to check when the scaffolding would be coming down. We were told it would be down the following week, so went ahead with our booking. When we arrived, the whole hotel was scaffolded and our room was in total darkness! As it was a special weekend we would not have stayed here if we had been told this. Breakfast was good, but far too small an area, which made it uncomfortable for everyone trying to get their food. The bedroom and bathroom was very comfortable, despite the darkness and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Currently (Dec 2024) there is scaffolding up so no views out the windows and entrance is a bit hidden. Easy distance to the river and several routes to get into the city.

Shower had cold water after 5pm to up until the morning. Food was bad hash browns undercooked and weird bacon a bit undercooked too. When we asked about if the sausages had milk they said of course because it is made of cow but then we found out that it doesn’t have milk.
