Perfect location opposite the river and 5 minute walk to the town centre. Good service but very busy so quite often no one on the reception area.

I think the bar manager was a bit stressed & i am not used being told at 9.24 the bars closed as they have started clearing up.He did furnish us with drinks & let us sit outside but put a slight downer on an otherwise nice stay

Disappointing first bedroom 203 the bed was like concrete. Then the second bedroom 108 the show was broken. Why did hotels insist on putting you in their worst rooms if you book with Hotels.com, and forget the room upgrade if you are a gold member.
