I think it's more environmentally friendly to use shampoo bottles. Because you can replace them regularly. And It's better you have a fridge in each room. If you stay for multiple nights, you might get bored of having the same breakfast every day. The chef might get bored too. So why not try changing the menu every other day? We think it's better for a hotel to be constantly changing.

Lovely hotel,very clean with friendly staff. One down point was our room wasn't cleaned one day, this didn't bother us as we keep things clean anyway. This didn't impact our stay and we both had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend away, we would definitely visit again

My husband and I had a wonderful three day stay at the Future Inn. The staff were so friendly and always on hand if you need anything. We had the suite and it was great, we have stayed in this suite a few times in the past and cant fault it. We will sure stay there again in the future.

Really friendly staff. Easy check in. Close to amenities. Clean throughout though some signs of updating needed. Room was really warm and air con would only go to 19 degrees and traffic noise was too much to leave the window open. Also the light from the corridor comes into the room which we blocked out with the bedding and the doors are surprisingly "slammy" but the parking and location was spot on for us.

First time staying at future inns we were pleasantly surprised. From check in to check out the service was excellent 👌👌 located close to city center with other amenities within walking distance. The staff were pleasant and very helpful always going the extra mile to help. Plenty of parking for free and several EV chargers at low cost. The restaurant food was exceptional and portions were very good. Excellent value for money. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend.
