The room was adequate but not very clean or well cared for. I called reception and housekeeping many times to request an ironing board and iron but after being ignored for over an hour I had to go to reception and request in person. They were clearing just ignoring the phone. Overall I just felt it was a lot of money for a very basic experience. I wouldn’t stay here again.

I've stayed here before. Check in easy, had time to relax a little bit before, I went to explore the city and the gig at the Co op arena. Funny thing was I had forgot my usual debit card. So has to use my phone. Which didn't work at barclays. I found another way. Gig was Epic but terrible to get back from. But it won't stop me staying here again.

Only glitch was breakfast It was a busy morning but the food was not of a good standard and staff could not keep up with demand. Queued and waited for a long time for hash browns which came out undercooked, no white bread for toast. Shame but this would not put me off staying again

Liked: Amenities
The staff were friendly and allowed us to store our suitcases in their office on our last day after checkout. However the room wasn’t well kept and on arrival it smelt of unwashed people, like the bedding hadn’t been changed. The walls were chipped and stained, there was a hair on the pillow and red stains on the blanket that had ripped. The bathroom was pretty clean but the rest didn’t feel clean. It’s fine if you want a cheap place to lay your head for the night but not if you’re looking for somewhere nice or for a prolonged stay.

The property was centrally located which made it easy to get around. We stayed in room 702 which had two single beds in it. The room was clean and spacious enough for two people, beds were really comfy. The bathroom was very clean and had a lovely spacious shower. I phoned reception for an iron and board and a kind young man brought them up for me, and asked if their was anything else he could do for us. Breakfast in the morning was very nice, they had pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cereals and cooked items. We would definitely stay again.
