Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Reception staff were quite rude and unhelpful. Check in was supposed to be from 2pm, room still wasn’t ready at 3:15pm. Key card kept disabling so had to keep getting it reactivated at reception. Only 1 lift worked so it always took a while to go anywhere. Expensive for the service that was delivered!!

Really good location, very clean

Very clean hotel, staff were very polite and always someone on hand if needed. Rooms are a good size and well equipped, sadly for me I found the beds very uncomfortable, the mattress is very firm, pillows uncomfortable and the duvet wasn’t big enough for the bed so everytime one of us moved the duvet uncovered the other. It was a shame as we couldn’t fault anything else, the location was fab and close to everything but without the noise of the town disturbing you but just didn’t sleep well due to the bed.

Fab location

Excellent staff. Very comfortable. Good choice for breakfast. Very clean. Very good location for the centre. Although quite busy no trouble parking - reasonable rate too. Only issue we had was we had no hot water. They had a burst hot water pipe on our first morning, although I appreciate nothing could be done whilst repairs going on we received no notification or updates about this
