The location was close to Dean Village. I appreciated that it felt central. Staff members were friendly. Breakfast each morning was excellent. The building and decor were beautiful. Everything was clean as new.
The breakfast buffet lacked selection. There was not much to order without spending extra money. The sandwich my husband ordered at the bar was disappointing. It was a slice of ham and cheese between bread. I was told the chef was already gone.

The staff was helpful. They quickly addressed my questions.
The room door let in excessive light from the hallway. I had to use a blanket to block the gap, but a significant space remained. The television was positioned at an awkward angle. the room overlooked a carpark with music blasting late into the night.

The breakfast buffet lacked selection. there was not much to order aside from toast and porridge without spending extra (i would expect more from a hotel of this calibre). the sandwich my husband ordered from the bar was disappointing. it was literally a slice of ham and cheese between bread. I thought the kitchen could make more effort.
