The advertised bar area was unavailable, disappointing as i had hoped for a sociable evening. The room temperature was initially low. the staff did address this issue promptly. It's just a shame that i couldn't fully enjoy the advertised amenities.

The advertised bar area was not available, disappointing. It seemed like a nice place to relax after a long day. The bathroom could have been cleaner. I noticed some grime around the shower tiles. I was expecting better maintenance in such a highly-rated hotel.

adequate stay with minor issues

inaccessible areainadequate heating
the room i occupied was not adequately heated, a problem i raised which they addressed. a sociable area, mentioned in the hotel's description, was inaccessible. these issues detracted a bit from the overall experience. one further problem was that i found the lack of elevator inconvenient with luggage.

Really good Hotel Features

clean roomcomfortable bedunavailable bar
The room was very clean. The traditional breakfast tasted excellent and featured an excellent continental choice. The complimentary mini fridge offered a nice surprise, I noted. I thought the beds were comfortable.
The bar was advertised as a sociable area, but I found it unavailable . I think the hotel should improve the bar or remove the advertisement.
