Loved the service and the suite. Quiet. Tidy and clean room. Comfortable bedding and blackout curtains. Spa bath was amazing, and the little bag of epsom salts left by housekeeping was so cute, and the perfect touch for me. Only downside was the shower pressure

Appears to have recently been renovated so facilities and rooms are good. Lifts are incredibly slow so try to book a lower floor and use the stairs.
