Unfortunately the heating was not working, the room was cold and there were no heaters available, reception did give me an extra quilt! However this was a 2 night stay and the second night it was sorted out. Food was a little on the pricey side but the pork belly was lovely

Restaurant looked very posh and beautifully modern. However booked a deluxe room and it was incredibly outdated, very below standard
