Loved the hotel, breakfast buffet was exceptional! Would definitely stay again. However I wouldn’t use auto check booths for next time and would prefer to have staff advise on best choice of remaining room. I was allocated a corner room which was cramped in design and bathroom smelt overwhelmingly of mildew/mould. Lovely room otherwise and I still have enjoyed my day.
