Staff very helpful. Parking laborious and not suitable for accessibility. Especially if on wheels as several curbs without drops in them. Toilet facilities at check-in are poor and through heavy doors. (Resulting in mishap) Room very clean, amazing bathroom. Totally accessible. No noise overnight. Breakfast surpassed expectations. Would consider using again.

Room was very clean. A big undertaking considering the building works outside. (There was a chute right outside my window. Brick and muck on the window sill outside). A very big well done to the Cleaner!! Your Reception Team were charming, friendly and very helpful. Always smiling. Excellent!! Breakfast, which was included, was very good, except the sausages - very poor quality. I would definitely stay there again.

It’s important that reception staff great their guests in the morning and not our their head down! Also, the woman managing the breakfast was rude and terse. She made us rush our breakfast just because she wanted to close and clean up! Some of the staff need to go on customer relationship management training.
