5/5 Excellent

"Had a great one night stay at Prince’s Gate. Awesome location, and a nice historic feel to the rooms and facilities. Even got a room upgrade which added to the stay. The pool was closed, but they remedied this by sending us to Polynesian spa free of charge which was a thoughtful touch."
