Good experience

The room was as expected from this class of hotel. Only real issue was that the lift was not working during our stay so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs.

Staff were brilliant in all areas. I could not get into my car as someone parked too close and as I have a back problem, one of the staff got in from the passenger side and got the car out. All staff were brilliant. One suggestion - as vehicle parking is not controlled by the hotel, they do not know the car numbers of the guests and there is no way to find out whose car it is. Please tell all hotels to take the vehicle number as it will be very useful in a situation like this

Cashless which wasnt clear on booking. Fine but the room was meant to be for 4. 2 adults and 2 children. As it was a sofa bed we didnt expect it to be particularly comfortable but oh my god... this thing was the most terrible, wonky, painful thing ive ever slept on. We genuinely have slept on the floor because its less painful. Shouldnt have to do that when youve paid £122 for the privilege per night. Breakfast was ok but very limited.
