5. The negatives were pretty minor - pool at busy times was crowded with kids that their parents showed no interest in supervising, the bed issue, minor problems with the TV controls and very, very slow service in the excellent Georgian Lounge.

6. Centrally located but the vallet service is very slow and one has to wait for a while to get their car or give their car for vallet parking.

9. CONS:The Shuckers Restaurant had very slow service, it was almost like the staff there were not on the same channel as the rest of the hotel, I think it may be a concession.
