Ian, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The first room option was very dated and we had to change rooms. It was ok but also very dated for the price. The reception staff were not very helpful initially but the manager stepped in to offer an alternative solution. Check in wasn’t ready at 3pm as stated either. The newer areas are more modern and I’m surprised that the whole hotel hasn’t been renovated. Bfast was good and the hotel bar is nice but lacks any ambience. The hotel is in a good area but some of the local bars/restaurants are a little obnoxious with bouncers being very aggressive.
