Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel location is great, easily walkable to the town centre and also the train station. On the negative side we found the room on the warm side, and opening the window did mean that we were subject to traffic noise and sirens during the night. The positives were that the spa is a great asset, just to be able to go and spend a bit of time relaxing even if you don't have a treatment. The highlight was the breakfast though, literally everything you could ever want was laid out!

The room was clean- unfortunately the first night we were put on 2 single beds made up as a double but no solid base so it was uncomfortable, but as soon as we raised it with Alex on reception it was sorted and we ended up in a newly refurbished room- which are really lovely! The bar area and lobby is good, and breakfast was superb. Again all staff helpful and accommodating. Pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub all great- busy when we went at lunch time but could still get on everything. Ice and water dispensers on every floor a good touch. Based on the stay once we got in the second room we would definitely stay again.
Old style room- clean and comfy- only moved due to bed mix up
Newly refurbished room- fresh, stylish and comfy
