I had a wonderful experience during a busy Valentine's stay at the hotel. Despite some check-in chaos, the staff handled it graciously by offering prosecco to guests in line. The leisure facilities were excellent and the gin bar had a fantastic selection. However, the surprise prosecco I ordered for my wife was missing, and the final checkout process could have gone smoother due to unclear parking instructions.
