When we went in January the hotel was fairly quiet and we experienced no noise. Staff were helpful. Our first morning we had the £16 breakfast but were not really that hungry so very expensive for a few sausages. The room aircon had no instructions and we were unable to stop it switching itself on and off throughout the first night. By playing about with it and asking the concierge we got it to be quiet the following nights.

Everything is very good. A huge improvement in all areas since being taken over by Marriott. The morning coffee however really lets the hotel down. Very weak filter coffee severed from a large container is not what you would expect from a 4 star establishment.

Our stay was great. Friendly staff, great services and nice rooms. Only bad point about our stay was that we had a king bed room and it was just 2 singles pushed together. During the night they end up splitting and you fall down the gap. Other than that the stay was amazing.
