The cleanliness and location to the West End
We paid a lot for a standard room. However, it was less than standard. The open 'wardrobe' and drawers to keep our clothes were in the bathroom. So whenever you had a shower, the clothes would get steamed. Not in a good way. There wasn't an extractor in the bathroom either, or air freshenerJust not a good thing to be storing clothes in a bathroom! The bed had a chunky wooden frame which I kept banging my legs on, and as the room wasn't very big, walked into the corner of it, banging my shins more than once. I didn't sleep very well the first night due to music from a nearby bar, which to be fair ended before midnight, but the traffic noise went on all night. I text the virtual assistant the next morning to ask if there was a room available not overlooking the road. I have a health condition and lack of sleep makes me unwell. I was informed it would be looked into and someone would get back to me with options. No-one did. I bought some ear plugs for our second night, but thankfully didn't need them. I reported a large puddle on the bathroom floor due to the shower screen seal not doing its job. A lady from housekeeping came to look, didn't mop the puddle but said she'd send maintenance. When we returned back to our room after breakfast, the puddle had spread along the floor to the basin. We had to stand away from the basin and lean over to clean our teeth to avoid standing in the considerable puddle, not to mention having to do the same when using the toilet! I text the virtual assistant again to ask if the puddle could be mopped up. I got a reply that it would be cleaned after maintenance had fixed the shower screen. Not good at all, considering either one of us could have gone flying on the very wet tiled floor. By the time we got back later in the day, the shower screen had been fixed, thankfully.

Location, comfy bed, breakfast (when we got it) was tasty, customer experience manager handled our issues well.
Pre-checked in on line but didn’t get promised message to say room was ready. Went to check in but someone else was allocated the room I’d chosen when checking in on-line. Receptionist claimed I’d not completed online check in properly - until I showed him the confirmation e-mail! Nespresso machine in bedroom not working. Shower was scalding hot wherever we set the tap. Had a 9am knock on door from housekeeping on Sunday morning! Lots of issues with breakfast - no veggie option, asked for white toast received 50/50 (waste of bread), milk jug on our table had not been cleared from previous guest and had a dribble left in it - had to ask for more, no plates - had to ask for one, no egg - had to ask for some, the guest next us twice asked for toast but still didn’t have it when we left. Apart from all of the other breakfast issues the worst thing was the individual sugar lumps wrapped in plastic - really??? If you do nothing else, please change this.
