This property would have easily obtained five stars however parking was a major problem. Because we were on a 24 night day we had lots of luggage and the only spots available for unloading luggage. We’re taking by buses so we had to park in the parking lot designated for the train, which was very full and put us a long way from the front desk other than that this place was awesome

Absolutely a dropdead gorgeous hotel. From the lobby to the Oyster Bar and restaurant to the downstairs pub everything is absolutely perfect. Our room was amazing and looked out onto Eyre Square, which is where you want to be. A ten minute walk to the Latin Quarter, which is where we spent most our time souvenir shopping and going to all the various restaurants and pubs. Super fun. Great location for the hotel.
