Stop with this pseudo high tech nonsense... Keep true and competent human beings at the reception. Your system doesn't work and is a true waste of time. The bed where I was was far from perfect. Everywhere, the impression that The Hotel is cutting costs (except those of our stays of course)!!! Unpleasant. You have nevertheless been saved, once again by the outstanding kindness and quality of your PEOPLE at the check in (given your system's failure), the cleaning team, the restaurant service etc... You remain my favourite in town but watch the downhill trend..

We enjoyed our room and had a great experience using the hotel spa. We had a not so great experience at the bar. The service was incredibly slow and when we finally got our drinks they brought a white wine when I had ordered a red. Otherwise this was a great location
