Basic
Was very big room with a strange layout and the bed was very firm. Reception was empty a lot of the time and house keeping service was poor. Check in was lovely.

Great location and excellent hotel.
Staff was very helpful. Hotel was safe and welcoming. Room was great. We had a king suite, that had a large living room, large kitchen, and dining table. It was like a small apartment. Even had a washer/dryer.

Room was business hotel basic, very simple but clean and comfortable. Pool was fantastic but there were no towels, you had to bring your towel down from your room. I booked the room with room service advertised but there was instructions once i checked into the room that i had to order then go down to the restaurant in lobby and collect myself so i chose to eat elsewhere. Great location, room was generous size, great view of the trains and the river. Would definitely stay again. Complimentary cookie was a lovely touch. Staff were nice but not friendly. Would love to stay here in summer and hope they open the side doors in pool area for fresh summer nights. Bathroom was ok, very basic and maybe the rooms need a freshen up but very good for the price. Only downside was Wifi was not secure so be aware of that risk. Would recommend though. Enjoyed my night there

Checking in was odd, the man checking us in gave misogynistic incel vibes. I was polite to him but he didn't seem to be having it or maybe he had just had a bad day I'm unsure. The room we got checked into looked nothing like the room we had booked I'm unsure if this is a miscommunication due to booking through hotels.com or the guy being spiteful and putting us in the worst possible room he could. We had choose this hotel and room because it was supposed to have to have a bath both me and my partner have disabilities that involve having chronic joint pain that soaking in a bath helps to elevate and we knew we would get flare ups from walking around the city. The room we were placed in not only had no bath but a the sink was in the room outside of the bathroom where it was carpeted, a very odd choice. I saw no photos like this when booking if I had I would of booked elsewhere.
