Really friendly staff, really nice budget hotel, not sure how it’s rated 4 stars as it’s a bit more dated than a premier in. I wouldn’t let it stop you staying, location is excellent so is the room size and the beds were really comfortable. Just they really need to hoover the rooms and replace some bits! All in all would still stay again for a budget trip.

Expedia charge an exorbitant amount for breakfast - £24-£30 - which is very very basic (broken coffee machine, very few options). This is not the hotel’s fee (which is significantly less).

Very worn stair carpets - had to use the stairs as there was only one, very small, lift working and waiting for it took up most of the morning. Not much food on offer in the evening apart from a (frozen?) pizza - which was actually very nice.
