A mixed review. The staff are mainly excellent. But there were a couple of issues with the stay.
The room was nice and we received a free upgrade. The shower is very bad: cold water and the spray coming out at all angles. Having stayed previously I know the showers are usually good. The staff resolved the shower issues. But I had been travelling for two days and I really needed a good shower. I had a cold, very poor quality shower spray for the most important wash of my stay.
The door staff are great for hailing taxis.
The breakfast buffet is very nice however the pancakes and omelette quality depends on the griller: one morning fresh and made to order and cooked perfectly. The next day the pancakes are made in advance and lose the fluffy texture and warmth and the omelette undercooked.
I was checking out separately from my partner. We had chosen not to have the room cleaned for out 4 night stay and left the sign on the door for this. However on checkout we had the ridiculous situation where my partner can't leave the hotel because this cheap paper sign is missing from the door. I am having to wake up from my sleep at the airport to help resolve this mess. The matter was resolved after quizzing housekeeping staff. But seriously, this is not the actions a nice hotel should be employing. The hotel could be excellent.
The room patio doors of 508 need a good clean.
The hotel is very close to being excellent. At the moment, the service doesn't reflect the price paid. The management can tighten up on the service and make the trip far more enjoyable. I would have been stayed again but the door sign shenanigans means I won't be. There is opposition for their trade n the opposite side of the road.
