Service Gaps Detracted from the Stay
hot stones incomplete massage
The breakfast had a wide choice with good quality.
I booked spa treatments for my family, and my friend had an issue. She had no hot stones involved in her shoulder massage, despite being asked if she had the hot stone treatment before. I got a £10 refund, but she did not receive the booked massage.

convenient location spacious suite soft towels connecting door banging doors noise level
The location near London proved so convenient for a quick getaway. I found our junior suite to be spacious. The bed was HUGE and comfortable. The towels felt soft. I also appreciated the recently built spa..
The room had a connecting door. Doors throughout the hotel banged often. It made sleep difficult. The noise from other guests affected the experience too. I did not expect that.
