Positive room switch

We had a full bed for my wife and I. It turned out to be too small, so the front desk had 2 twins available, so we took that. Later that day , they told us a king had opened up and moved us to a much more comfortable room. Excellent service.

Convenient for access to hospital. Not sure it warranted nearly double price for 1 night in December over November date. Shame parking was then another cost on top of the cost of the room, although fairly priced. Breakfast buffet was nice, plenty of choice. Staff super friendly.

Hotel communal areas are nice but beware the rooms

Whilst the location of the hotel was convenient for us to attend a meeting and the restaurant/lobby area was pleasant, this stay and experience was unfortunately let down by the terrible state of the room. This part of the hotel is not only out dated in decor but poorly maintained and dirty. There were rotten door frames, stained carpets, black mould and cigarette burns on the sheets. The heating/fan system is also very old and noisy so it was a choice between using the climate control and being disturbed by the noise or being cold overnight
