Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
An overnight say whilst travelling from France to Germany. Was easy to find - situated in a business area. Parking was easy but started a bit on the expensive side initially offered at 17Euros but was reduced to 12. As the hotel is situated in a business area there is nowhere walkable to eat so was forced to use the hotel restaurant. The staff were excellent and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Upon first impressions the room was lovely but unfortunately after returning to it after dinner found that neither the kettle nor the fridge were in working order. The shower head fixture was broken so could not be altered in either height or angle - luckily there was a bath but made it a bit difficult to wash my hair. I did pop down to reception to request a kettle but was told they were all locked away for the night. At the same time I reported the other room defects- I was offered another room but at 10pm I did not feel like moving all my luggage so had to do without my cup of tea. ( would have been nice if they had sent one up via room service) A hotel of this standard should be checked regularly and should not have all these faults in one room. If passing through again I would probably stay again but would check all the amenities to make sure they were working before I unpacked..

Ok for an upmarket premier inn but not as good as it should be and not as good as a Radisson Red that I have stayed in before (it should of been better).

Easy access hotel and nice staff

The “suite” had two rooms, but the second room was really an office with chairs and a desk rather than a living-room seating area, which was not that convenient. It was also located near the three lifts / elevators, so we had that noise in the evenings and early mornings (before 0600 as many guests had to get to work).
