Overall the hotel was nice and smart. Got the choice at check in if we wanted a higher or lower floor, my daughter of course wanted the highest that we could go so to the 17th floor we went where the view over the centre was lovely. Considering it was a busy weekend we waited no more than a few minutes for the lofts at each use. The ro

Tired small room, could've been better cleaned

Family room was really small with barely any space to negotiate around the two beds. To make some room in the morning we put away the sofa bed, and it wasn't so clean underneath. Big stain on the carpet, a lost earring from a former guest, and what even looked like a packet of tissues under the main bed which I didn't investigate. Having said that, the main reception, bar and breakfast area were good, and the breakfast was great with a lot of choices

Got up from my table mid breakfast together a cup of tea. When I got back to my table everything had been taken away! I understand the need for cleaning up after customers have left the restaurant, but at least give them a few minutes in case they are returning, especially as it was clear that I had not finished.
