"We arrived here for a 2 night stay for a wedding (Fri sat night). PROS: Lynsey the manageress she 100% makes it so fabulous. Lovely, welcoming, looked after us brilliantly. Due to some staff shortages, she was doing what seemed like 10 jobs at once! We ate on one of the nights food was delicious! Great service tasty food. Breakfast was also spot on set us up brilliantly for the day ahead on the Saturday! The Willow room which we stayed in was fab ideal size, lovely cosy too! The whole 2 night stay was extremely reasonably priced the place itself has a great feel about it like a big cosy house! CONS: If you like total darkness, take an eye mask for sleeping as the rooms can get really bright from the early hours. Also, depending on the room, it’s on quite a busy road so can be quite nosy it would be worth having earplugs if you like a quiet surrounding. Due to staffing, the bar doesn’t stay open that late, so be mindful of this, they will however put drinks in your room if you can’t make it back in time for the bar closing. Taxis there are no local taxis, so arranging transport to the wedding we were attending was a nightmare which we didn’t account for! Luckily after 6 different phone calls, we managed to get sorted. The only gripe I had was the confusion over the bill if you decide to charge things to your room, the bills aren’t itemised so it’s difficult to keep track of what has been charged. There was some confusion on checkout over what we should shouldn’t have been charged for, so definitely choose to pay for any extras outright to avoid any confusion or uncertainty before check out. Other than that, it was one of the nicest, most personal stays we’ve had out in a long long time. This was mainly down to the Manageress Lynsey who is fabulous at her job really does make it feel like home makes you feel super welcomed relaxed. Thank you lynsey for really making a stay a one to remember."

"princes square houses numerous restaurants and another one has just the party above. which was between cranachan and zizzi earlier a small coffee shop, hidden behind it a lot of space. the man behind barca cranachan has gone all Americans on us and ny american grill is the result. the manager, leanne, explained how much research and preparation went into each element – from the selection of cocktails to the design of the restaurant. the big train for me is that they have a special jospur grill that was cooked food to 700 degrees to give a carburized taste without making anything bone dry. I have to admit that I managed to see burger in the minute, so was glad to open the menu and find (in addition to the burger) that we had been invited to get a proper food. that said, we started with the NY plate for two consisting of calamari, chicken wings, crabs and cheese wobble bonbons. the wings were chosen for our favorite – tasty without too thick sauce. I enjoyed the crab bites and I will be back to order them again and the bonbons made me feel cheeky, not exactly the healthiest things in the world (but oh so delicious). calamari needed a bit for my taste in terms of cooking time and seasoned, but without doubt they will perfect this in the time. I made an epic mistake at this place – I ordered a milkshake. I know I'm too excited and ordered most of the drink there before I eat my main course. I didn't have a real shake so long that I had to have it right away. When it arrived, it was a little weak on the earth's side, but as soon as I mentioned it to a worker, they pushed it away and made it new for me. after I was in the night before I know that they have to iron this kink, but I was impressed by how ready they were to make the dinge right for all. then there were ribs, because what is the dinner at an American joint without ripp? when we started eating, they seem a bit overdue, but actually they were cooked in the middle perfectly. they are served with mais and their own renovated koleslaw, but we ordered riders because it seemed strange not to have them. we both wanted steak, I had no doubt. I am a happy lady to have an understanding husband who will share all his food with me so I can write about it. ribeye has in the rule the sibling of the fat we are looking for without costing fat, so we went for the 10oz, but they can also get a 14oz. that was when the Jospur grill came in fruit. it was juicy and tasty (I think they would be a kind of precooking marinade on or something) and just all round delicious. the water circles, tomaten and pommes were ridicule-on and the pfeffer sauce we had chosen was a little over pfeffer, but excess of requirements anyway. on the other side called me the cocktail list and served as a fine sweet tasty bite. our waiter was eager to help ask what kind of cocktails I like, and thought I like a liberty rose. think they parma violet with a noble edge and some roses throw it, mmm!Cocktail wise herr s chooses in the rule an old fashion or a caipirinha and whisky won on this day. instead of being served only over ice, the cocktail came in a small crug on ice with the glass. someone at the table loved this idea and shows since humans. there were a few dings that need to be adapted, but overall we left with a really positive opinion of ny american grill. it will be convenient for post-shopping food and pre all cocktails. next time I feel mischievous and ready for some American dug I will be in, perhaps for the pre-theater menu.N.B - we got our food for half price as part of a VIP night. I was not obliged to write about the night, and this supplement contains my honest opinions."
