Very rude and unhelpful staff. Reception team did not care to assist or help in anyway when I asked to move room as I was placed above a generator! I decided to leave shortly after my arrival as the hotel is not as nice as they make out on the website. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Try the Sheraton or the W hotel.

Beautiful hotel - inside and outside. We were treated wonderfully well and all the staff were so welcoming and engaged with our young daughter. We loved the little Easter treats they gave her. The breakfast is truly something else and needs to be seen to be believed. Such a huge choice of foods which were presented attractively. Excellent room - really spacious and loved the full sized toiletries in the bathroom. A truly special place that we will definitely be staying at again.
