The Reception, Bar and restaurant is newly restored modern and decorated tastefully. There is a sign on the wall in reception saying retoration project 2009 for the 5th and 6th floor rooms to be restored in line with the decor of the ground floor foyey.We stayed on the 3rd floor and it was like stepping back in time with the colour scheme and the decor.The bedroom was spacious and as we stayed in a family room it had two double beds.The bathroom comprising of bath/(shower on wall inside bath), double sink, mirror and 70's stle hairdryer attached to wall.Through a seperate door was a toilet.
