Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is modern and clean. Express check-in online beforehand didn't speed up the process. The pool and sauna are cool and can be very busy and only accessible with a separate key from reception which is valid for an hour. Don't expect to do laps if your a swimmer it is only about 10m.The gym had modern equipment and a good size for a hotel. The double sofa bed in the family room is small and reduces the space considerably, more suited to under 9s if they need to share. The bathroom had a multi angle door that blocked off the shower or toilet but didn't go to the ceiling, it was also was sligjtly mirrored and see through. The bedding was also not as soft/worn which was a shame. The car park is shared with the railway station which are both next-door to the hotel. Head for the carpark and walk through the arch to the hotel as there is no drop off at the entrance. Conveniently there ia a coop convnence shop opposite the hotel. Park and ride 5m drive away which gives access to the city centre without the 15m walk from the station. Convenient and okay for a couple of nights.

I’d book somewhere else

The bedroom ceiling was filthy and needed painting, there was an extra bed in the room which we never asked for that made the room feel small and cramped. The toilet door is transparent which to some may be an advantage but not for me and there was a kettle in the room with sachets of coffee, this went out in the 1990s, for goodness sake just put in a coffee machine in every room with pods
