Don't skip dining in.
The hotel's restaurant is reported to be a real treat. The food is prepared fresh, in house, using quality ingredients. Their portion size is quite generous. Guests also thought the wine selection was rather good. Previous guests recommend the afternoon tea service in particular.

The staff is well trained.

Negative Reviews
negative:
The beds are strange.
Many reviews complained about the quality of the mattresses on the beds. Several people used the phrase "water bed" to describe them. Though they are not, in fact, water beds, they behave much as a water bed would; with one side rising significantly if you sit on the other side. Guests reported problems like sinking so far in when they sat on the bed that they spilled their tea, or causing such a jostle when they sat down that their partner laying on the other side nearly fell off.
negative:
It's a little worn down.
Guest reported a variety of small maintenance issues, such as broken toilet paper holders or broken shower knobs. In general, they said that the hotel looks tired, despite all the claims by management of it being recently refurbished.
negative:
The walls are thin.
Some previous guests said their sleep was interrupted by the sounds of their neighbour's TV and conversation.
