The room (suite 14) was spotlessly clean and every wall and ceiling surface covered in padding and quilting. All of which looked different. The wet room was enormous at around 4m square. And the copper slipper bath was definitely a new experience. There was only one bottle of water, and no coffee maker - though we weren't charged for coffee in the bar. The room felt soft, smooth and was very dark: romantic with a definite sexy vibe. And there was a big, long black sofa. But, overall, the hotel didn't feel as quirky as the website and its photographs suggests. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had gone for the May Ball. There were around 130 people there - mostly aged 30 to 50 - sat at circular tables; many in parties. The Thai buffet was excellent. The band was very average, and the "entertainment" a real disappointment. A single drag artist followed by two girls dressed as Brazilian samba dancers. All of which lasted perhaps 10 minutes, done twice. The dance floor was rather small, but many people seemed to leave early. The room only was £466 for one night (breakfast extra) and a pair of Ball tickets £159. Cocktails were £15 each and the less expensive wines weren't available. We made this a very happy night but this hotel didn't seem value for money.
