I stayed in this hotel 10 years ago, and hated it. However, this time I was at a conference in the hotel. I found the hotel remarkably improved. Location is excellent (clearly that hasn't changed), views from Park Rooms were charming (looking over the newly cleaned cathedral spires through large trees). Staff could not have been more helpful. Food in restaurants was delicious. Nice bars to meet friends. And finally - no "stuff-ups". If you stay in hotels all the time, you'll know what I mean. There were no problems with room key cards, reservation was correct, correct room provided, room service excellent and fast, no unauthorised charges on account, no problems with air-conditioning etc.
