Good value
Ideal location in town centre, hotel was nice, friendly staff and room a good size. Beautiful dining room at breakfast although the supply of food was poor. Had to wait as hot buffet was empty and cold options were not replenished even though it was mid service. Good overall good value for money

What a gem
What a gem of a find. Initial thought was a lot of steps to get to reception, but once we reached reception we were really happy with what we found. Staff that greeted us were very friendly and helpful. Then found the lift which would have saved us the stairs. This made our stay a lot easier. Our room was a good size, and clean. Bed was comfortable. Nice size on the bathroom. We slept well. The room was very quiet. Breakfast was good. Plenty of choice and fresh items constantly being brought out. Hotel is close to train station and shopping area/ restaurants and pubs. Will definitely be using this hotel again

Overnight stay for cricket.
Excellent pre-arrival information made the trip so much easier. Excellent discount on local parking in a secure car park. The bedroom was larger than we anticipated and at a good price for a city centre hotel. The only gripe would be that the bathroom needed some TLC as it was shabby with missing grout in the floor tiles and earlier repairs to walls was evident.

2/10 Poor

Expected more but got even less
On arrival I asked about noise but assured by staff no problem. Was kept awake by music till 2:30am and awoke by building site at 6:30am. WiFi in room wasn’t working and took a day for someone to check it and still didn’t work. Blackout curtains advertised on site but didn’t cover windows so were useless. Tv signal bad. Shower not properly sealed and leaked causing slip hazard. Soap empty. Mentioned to staff but nothing properly done.
