Another great stay at this hotel. Lovely welcoming staff. Great room. Had access to the executive lounge which had an excellent selection of wines, beers and food.
My only gripe was housekeeping knocking at my door a couple of times early in the morning, but my fault as i should have left my do not disturb sign out. Highly recommend this hotel.
