My business and I use this Hotel at least 2 - 3 nights a month. The Hotel is generally great and staff friendly except this time. It is unreal how one person can make such a difference, and will contribute to your business decisions going forward. I made the mistake of asking for 2 rooms to be processed through one transaction and the utter bad attitude and generally reprehensible behaviour received from Olivia at the front desk was a true reflection of an individual that should not be in Hospitality!!! Unfortunate that one individual can ruin an otherwise great experience and ensure no future business to the hotel.

Service was excellent and common spaces are very smart and well-maintained. The room itself was a little tired and in need of some paint. In my aunt's room (103) the shower drain was blocked.
