Bob

Liked: Staff & service
The room was spacious with a large comfortable bed, comfy duvet and pillows. Heating/air conditioning was easily adjusted to suit. Drinks tray was welcoming. Issues around maintenance : -Dark brown grouting within tiles over an area of 10 rows up from shower tray - Holder for ‘something’ was fixed to tiles with shower area. Suspect this could have been a dish of sorts to accommodate shower gel/hair products there - we had to lay these on floor - Perhaps I did not do sufficient homework on this property as we were taken aback to find the rooms fronting directly on car park. River views were restricted due to bar/restaurant building - Breakfast was generally good with hot dishes made to order. However the cold buffet table was poor with very limited fresh fruit, no bread rolls, cheese or meat. All staff friendly and helpful.
