My room was very noisy and I asked to be moved which was taken care of nicely. The hotel is a little dated and I didn’t enjoy my dinner in the restaurant. It was overpriced and not very good. Overall, the hotel was ok for the price. ##### DEBORAH Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Presidente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Presidente.h1126992.Hotel-Information) > > [Smyth Tribeca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Smyth-Tribeca.h2292873.Hotel-Information) > > [Drita Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Drita-Hotel.h12732695.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mykonos-Hotels-Mykonos-Grand-Hotel-Resort.h1178582.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Barcelona International Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-International-Convention-Centre-Hotels.0-l6144642-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Cheltenham Racecourse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Racecourse-Hotels.0-l6169978-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Angsana Laguna Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Choeng-Thale-Hotels-Angsana-Laguna-Phuket.h21296.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kissimmee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kissimmee-Hotels.d7927.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Barceló San José](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Barcelo-San-Jose.h788912.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Leicestershire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Leicestershire-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6046221-tSpaHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Madrid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels.d178281.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Grano de Oro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Grano-De-Oro.h994383.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in St. Helier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-St-Helier-Hotels.s50-0-d4306.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [D Sabana Hotel San José](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-San-Jose.h5552804.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-San-Jose-La-Sabana.h10579877.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-San-Jose-Costa-Rica-Airport.h2303711.Hotel-Information) > > [Blanco's Hotel Port Talbot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels-Blancos-Hotel-Port-Talbot.h31632244.Hotel-Information) > > [Mark Warner Phokaia Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Foca-Hotels-Mark-Warner-Phokaia-Beach-Resort.h19192089.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Heraklion (HER)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/her/liverpool-to-heraklion) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/fco/birmingham-to-rome) > > [Turkish Airlines Punjab (ISB) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/turkish-airlines-from-islamabad-intl-to-heathrow/tk/isb/lhr) ### Activities > [Things to do in Caleta de Velez](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Caleta-De-Velez.d6258120.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Agia Pelagia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Agia-Pelagia.d6051671.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Bursa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bursa.d6134123.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Ballintoy Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballintoy-Harbour-Ballycastle.d553248633939086760.Attraction) > > [Australia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Australia.d10.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [World of Beatrix Potter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/World-Of-Beatrix-Potter-Windermere.d6087973.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown.dx180018) > > [Visit St Ives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Ives.dx182650)
