8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay

Hotel was clean, and fresh, with a presentable reception area. Rooms were adequate and comfortable though the bathroom was a little strange and basic. Unfortunately only one lift was in use throughout our stay which meant longer waits on an upper floor and the card system didn't always work but overall was in a good location and easy access to local restaurants and station. Shame about the down and outs loitering in the local area.

Clean room. Quiet, easy to check in via reception, very helpful staff. Nice room, lovely breakfast in the morning
Lynda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyed our stay. Very central location, the only drawback being the lack of parking. However, it wasn't too far to walk to the public parking and the hotel stamp your ticket to ensure you get a significant reduction at the car park.
