Excellent, albeit my trip wasnt business related, it had a perfect desk and connectivity for WFH etc which many may find favourable. The bar staff were a little under trained and seemed to struggle with anything greater than 1 instruction or order at a time. This was a very basic and I could see how patrons may get frustrated, but they were friendly etc throughout. Will stay again.
