The breakfast offered many options. I thought it was wonderful. the location worked for me because it was close to shops. i found a beautiful canal nearby and accessible parks. the beds were quite comfortable too.
My view was of the carpark. That was not ideal. aircon units made loud noises outside, disturbing my sleep. i could not turn the heating off as it is centrally controlled. housekeepers chatted loudly late at night near a linen cupboard.

my room was a superior king room, and it was spotlessly clean. i ate several meals in the restaurants, the lounge and lock 4, and the food was excellent.
My room was close to the linen room. it was noisy in the morning, and light was getting into the room. One of the pillows we each had was too large.
