8.2/10 Very Good! (754 reviews)
Windows don't fit properly, so draughty and hear outside road noise. Have stayed in 3 different rooms, same experience. Cheaper than other nearby hotels, but expect better. Note they charge extra £5 to park if u dont book direct, read the small print. Staff nice though.
