Business trip would definitely stay again.

This was a business trip, I stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the air conditioning. During my stay they were having extensive building works carried out but I have to say it was seamless for me. I heard no noise whatsoever as it was all done whilst I was at work. The only issue was there were less car parking spaces but the work men were very accommodating as well. I literally went out one day and came back and the old restaurant had been blocked off and a new one opened. The staff were even really kind in helping me enquire about some pictures I had been admiring on the wall in the morning! All the staff were really helpful and kind and at one point a huge bus party of European tourists arrived, one member of staff was trying to sort out access and she did it so patiently making sure everyone's needs were met. I'm sure that the disruptions were difficult for the staff but it did not affect me at all. There is a lovely outside space where you can sit by the river and have a drink or a bite to eat, the Korean Chicken bites were to die for I had them three nights running. I would definitely stay here again. I am looking forward to seeing it all finished.

Very limited parking, ended up parking across the water 5 minute walk. Breakfast a little uninspiring, not the highest quality. Decent coffee though! Staff friendly and helpful.

Property was being renovated at the time no notice to suggest this was taking place unable to access some rooms. Key card not working didn’t get the full experience.

The hotel is a short walk from the station. When i stayed there were builders in working on the hotel but they were not working between the hours of 5 in the afternoon and 8 in the morning so caused me no issues. This is my second stay and its a convenient hotel with nice rooms and a good breakfast
