7.4/10

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even going the extra mile to upgrade our room for my mum's 80th birthday celebration. However, there were issues with the room, including a lack of hot water due to a boiler problem and shabby furniture like a stained sofa and worn-out shelves. The dining experience was generally good but with some minor disappointments.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms looked modern and fresh, offering amazing views, but unfortunately, there was a lot of noise from the road. On the downside, the room had a shabby feel with a stain on the sofa and a dilapidated set of shelves that didn't seem to belong there.
