It definitely seems that this is a hotel in 2 halves. The newer section is showing is age. My room seemed to be in a section of the hotel that I would call 2nd class. The rooms were lovely but.....in the lobby areas outside, there were tiles missing around the skirting, furniture just plonked to fill up otherwise empty spaces, poor paint finishes, large laundry trolleys with overflowing towels (clean and dirty) just left opposite the lift. Also, on the beverage list it shows champagne but there was none in the room - I had to point this out to make sure I wasn't charged for it. The outside garden bar area was lovely with very efficient staff. Didn't make up for my disappointment overall though.
