Phyllis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is very central and the hotel in appearance is gorgeous. The staff let the hotel down, not all but most. The breakfast for us was very poor standard and presentation sometimes inedible. The room itself was large and comfortable an issue with the flooring that was raised not fixed whilst we were in situ which caused a few issues for us. Overall a little disappointing against the standard we expect from Hotel Indigo brand.
