Appalling cleanliness. Good breakfast & location.

The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city. The cleanliness of the room was appalling. There were stains all over the carpet, there was what looked like coffee stains (I hope) on the bedclothes of the sofa-bed. When we pushed in the sofa-bed in the morning there was a large what looked like babysick (I hope!!!) on the sofa. Our skin was crawling. The sink was blocked so wouldn't empty out. There was a mere handful of little UHT milk containers, not enough to cool one coffee. The breakfast was really good to end on a positive note.

Good location close to attractions, shopping and pubs/restaurants. Modern hotel with facilities you would expect of a Holiday inn express. Good breakfast options. Lively pub or more sedate bar so suits most people. Discounted parking in multi storey carpark about 1 minutes walk away.
