I really like this hotel. But I got an email a few days before asking my estimated time of arrival, if I needed a car park, and if they could help with anything else. I replied (6pm, no and no) and received acknowledgement. But 2 days before arrival I got a phone call asking the same things (with the same answers) but with the added addition of did I want white or red wine as my free welcome drink. I replied white, she said 'okay red' and I said no no, white please and she acknowledged.

... guess what colour wine was waiting for me ha. I'm just annoyed because I'm a typical millenial who hates answering the phone ("eww why is my internet and meme generator making a ringing noise")

Still, I like this place.

Would it be worth double the price? Sometimes I see that Sofitel competitively priced.

Very much so…..
