Lovely
hotel
in
the
perfect
location
for
a
weekend
of
retail
therapy!
It
was
quiet
and
clean,
and
the
staff
were
amazingly
friendly
and
helpful.
The
beds
were
so
comfortable
we
could
have
slept
for
days,
and
having
an
audio
feed
from
the
TV
into
the
bathroom
so
we
could
listen
to
the
radio
while
having
a
shower
was
a
great
touch.
It's
just
a
shame
that
the
food
wasn't
up
to
the
same
standard.
Our
meal
at
the
hotel's
restaurant
-
Marco
Pierre
White's
Steakhouse
-
was
disappointing
to
say
the
least.
The
food
was
nice
enough,
but
definitely
lacking
in
flavour.
We
couldn't
bring
ourselves
to
stay
for
dessert
as
we
had
been
so
put
off
by
the
blatant
lack
of
food
hygiene
and
safety.
I
spent
the
entirety
of
my
meal
staring
at
a
dirty
linen
cart
and
black
rubbish
bag
that
had
been
abandoned
by
the
side
of
the
kitchen's
service
hatch.
We
also
had
to
watch
as
one
of
the
servers
continuously
ate
their
own
food
at
one
of
the
food
prep
stations,
wiped
their
mouth
with
their
bare
hands,
and
then
immediately
began
dishing
up
olives
and
handling
bread.
The
next
morning
we
went
back
to
the
restaurant
for
the
hotel's
complimentary
breakfast,
optimistic
that
the
experience
from
the
night
before
was
simply
a
blip.
However,
when
an
option
as
simple
as
pancakes
were
unavailable,
the
eggs
Benedict
was
served
cold
with
tough
bread,
and
there
were
no
jams
available
for
the
limited
selection
of
pastries,
we
began
to
think
that
perhaps
the
previous
night's
poor
experience
was
not
a
fluke.
This
was
absolutely
cemented
in
our
minds
that
evening
when
we
ordered
a
simple
cheese
pizza
from
room
service,
only
to
be
presented
with
a
Chicago
Town,
sauce-stuffed
crust,
frozen
pizza!
(I'm
very
familiar
with
these
because
they
are
a
staple
for
my
two
boys
at
home)
So
we
paid
nearly
£15
for
the
privilege
of
a
fancy
restaurant
to
heat
up
a
frozen
supermarket
pizza
and
transfer
it
to
a
takeaway
pizza
box...
Despite
the
issues
with
the
food,
we
would
absolutely
come
back
to
stay
at
the
hotel.
We
would
just
give
the
restaurant
a
miss.
