Fantastic big room that was clean and fresh, and the decor attractive. The bed was so comfy, with multiple pillows to use. The breakfast pack was a bonus. So nice to stay somewhere that allows for more than one cup of tea and coffee each during the stay.

It was centrally located. No lift or fire doors.Room very nice. Bathroom great. Room drafty requiring us to put masking tape on sash windows. Very noisy because of downstairs electric sliding doors beneath us kerping us awake into early hours of morning.

Music was played in the hotel gaming area which came up through the floor of our bedroom. Staff told me that they had turned it down when I went downstairs to complain however it could still be heard. They advised me it would be turned off at midnight. Pity, otherwise it was great
