Enjoyable stay
"Great location and staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the main negatives was the limit of alcohol choice at the bar. I don’t recall this been highlighted anywhere. Also, one of our towels had wine stains but overall it ticked all the boxes for a central city centre vacation."
