Great location
Lovely room and great location. Room service for snacks was limited late at night and expensive. No biscuits supplied with coffee facilités or mini bar snacks. Parking was very expensive.

The bed was too soft and the gap between the 2 beds to make it a Queen or King kept widening during the night, so very uncomfortable.
