Excellent stay you will not be disappointed.

We stayed in the junior suite. Was lovely and clean and smelled amazing the reed diffuser in our room was a lovely touch. We had a fully stocked fridge which was complimentary, vodka, gin, wine, lager, water, crisps and chocolate bars. Molton Brown in the bathroom. Bathrobes, slippers. Lovely corner seating area, plenty plug socks the most I've ever seen in a hotel room. Great size mirrors. We can't wait to return.

The Stay was very nice. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to help us check in. We would have stayed for a meal if the prices were more competitive or there was some other incentive to eat at the restaurant.

Remains a good hotel choice but it is getting a little tired judging by observations in the room where the bathroom has unsightly discoloured tile and seals. Together with broken blinds it felt maintenance has slipped

Building is modern with a good price. It’s very dark in common areas and rooms. Staff wasn’t unfriendly but not friendly either. Room had not been cleaned thoroughly- we found an old wrapping in the toilet area- dust on shelves.Big Grocery store a very short walk.
