The room was pleasant and the bed was extremely comfy, the remote for the tv looked like it needed a good clean and the ceiling fan blew air up not down. Expensive for what it was, wouldn’t have minded if it was an £85 room.

Friendly staff, although Hotel access seems a bit like a backup plan. Heading in behind the bar to get to the rooms. The showers also were iffy on temperature, solid temp for first few mins, then ice cold and steaming hot cycles.
