This hotel group also seems to favour floral designs - beloved by everyone's granny. A little more updating to make some the hotels look more up to date would also be a step in the right direction.
Just had a wonderful stay in The Westcliff. My internet did work and I don't judge the quality of the hotel on movies on demand. - Orient-Express is my favorite hotel chain and I have tried all of them including over 10 in most of them...
