Location, atmosphere, staff, , food and drink all top notch.

David United Kingdom

The proximity to our event venue, nice bar and restaurant, the food was good and plentiful. Our room was spotless and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay and would stay again

Leslie United Kingdom

The room was very well laid out with plenty of space. The staff went over and above in the dinner I had by making a dish that was not on the menu. Very friendly.

Sanjay United Kingdom

Comfy bed. Pillows were too soft for me. Although close to airport planes were not a problem, it was quiet at night. Free morning paper nice touch.

June United Kingdom

A lovey hotel with everything you need and very convenient if going to P&J live

Phyllis United Kingdom

Location for the new P&J Live stadium - just a short walk up to the stadium on a good, lighted path. Excellent food in restaurant. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

Fiona United Kingdom

Would have liked breakfast included in price as over 12 is a bit much for breakfast when ur paying for room
