Pleasant place
The hotel itself was lovely and staff were great. The only downside we found was that our air con was very noisy almost sounded like running water and the blankets were extremely large and heavy to sleep in but other than that it was lovely.

Great stay other guests let it down
Love the Clayton unfortunately there was a group of girls who came home at 3.30am woke us up and continued to party
Security came straight up even though our phone wasn’t working
Can’t blame the hotel for selfishness of other guests

Was very pleased with the hotel and would stay again. If I was being a bit picky I would have to say the shower isn’t very good more of a drizzle than a shower but for one night I could let that go
