    Ok. But won't be rushing back. At least it was fairly cheap.

    Heating wasn't working in the room - blooming cold. Ok, there were two electric radiators which eventually warmed it up, but ... Shower was super-hot or cold, with nothing in between.

    Breakfast was ok if you like fry-ups with fairly cheap ingredients. Not so great if you don't. Bed was comfortable. Receptionist was friendly.

    Pleasant stay, friendly staff, clean, comfy, would recommend

    The room was very hot, although I did turn off the radiator and open then windows, the bathroom towel rail could not be turned off so made the room very warm. The toilet was very squashed between the wall and sink, and being a larger lady was a bit tricky! Main problem was as the room was literally in the car park was very noisy and the lighting needs improving - no light near the dressing table (nor a chair).

    Room was pleasant, roomy and spotlessly clean, bed was comfy, nice to have 2 tub chairs and a little table, good amount of storage room for your belongings, bathroom was clean and towels nice and fluffly, water was hot.

    No extraction fan in bathroom. Opened the window after shower but couldn't close it, which opened onto fire exit. Major security issue. Bed was not very comfortable. Could hear voices from adjacent room.

    The breakfast could have been better. Would have liked some fresh fruit and hotter water to make your own tea and coffee.

    Fantastic location near plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Friendly welcoming staff. Comfortable room which was very clean

    The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I'd like to give a particular mention to Millie on reception who undoubtedly went the extra mile, switching us to a room inside the hotel rather than in the annexe and providing us with ice buckets, cutlery etc when we arrived late and weary and needing sustenance. I would further add that it was an extremely well-appointed and pleasant room

    The shower was not brilliant as the shower head needed attention due to the connection was wearing out, It has been reported also there was no instructions for the coffee machine which would have been useful and some of the coffee pods had been used but was not a major issue for us as we were only there for 2 nights .
