The location is superb. The views from the room were fabulous. The room was ready early upon arrival , which was fantastic.

I was not told there was a wedding. It took over the entire bar area with very little offer of alternatives. When I did find somewhere in the snooker room, drinks orders were completely wrong. I gave up trying to get it resolved and went to bed.
