    Liked decor. Lovely room number one was unexpected treat. Very helpful staff. Got sparkling drink at breakfast for our daughter's birthday. Lovely jazz band on Sunday evening. All good. Quiet although overlooking the road.

    Room was very clean and tidy, and decored to a high standard. Lunch was great, although a little on the pricey side. There was a little bit of road noise, but this was better than I expected given the hotel's location. Staff were extremely...
