6/10 Good

Polite staff, nice hotel but overbooked.

Staff were polite and welcoming. Unfortunately our room was double booked due to a large party, I paid for a premium king but was downgraded. Breakfast was offered as compensation, which we accepted because we were not told until we arrived to check in and it was very busy so we didn’t kick up a fuss. I do feel we were at a loss, as it was very overpriced for an average buffet and we wouldn’t have chosen this. Hotel was clean, bar was stocked.
