Building is modern with a good price. It’s very dark in common areas and rooms. Staff wasn’t unfriendly but not friendly either. Room had not been cleaned thoroughly- we found an old wrapping in the toilet area- dust on shelves.Big Grocery store a very short walk.

We chose Dakota as we had heard many good things. We upgraded to have a mini bar which wasn’t there and also to have Champagne and Canopies on arrival. We asked for the complimentary arrival drinks and were told to take a seat and they would be brought over. After 30 mins we had to leave and mentioned to the reception team that they had not arrived. Really disappointing to upgrade for extra perks and to receive none. Dinner was fabulous and so was the service, Just the attention to detail was nothing special in our experience.

One night's sleep and the rest of it was hassle.

Nice place but badly managed. Made a reservation for dinner, waited ages too be served and charged a service charge for my privilege. Was told that I would receive a receipt by email when I checked out. This has not happened and I can only chase it by email as speaking on the phone doesn't resolve the matter.
