This could be really good with more care and a room refresh. The rooms are rather tired in decor and need an update, the corridors dingy. The best feature is the gardens with alpacas and roaming peacocks which come right up to your door. Lots of gardeners mooch about all day, yet the gardens look a bit ragged and undertended at the same time. You can see river and mountains from the garden.
The real shame is that its located under a very busy traffic bridge you have to walk across to reach the centre. Its very very smoggy and noisy and not pleasant at all. We heard traffic horns from 5 AM in our room. Otherwise it is near to the centre.
Unlimited free water and coca tea in reception is good. The restaurant is a bit old fashoioned too, and breakfast rather humdrum, with alot of flies in the room whch arent cleared from the windows.
