"We had a family night away here Great central hotel on the main street, We went to the sister hotel on the sunday and used the leisure facilities which were great. We had food in the bar which was lovely and great service Only thing I would say is there were groups of people coming back at 2am,3am,4am and they were congregated in the hallways and very loud. There was no one walking the floors to reduce the noise which I think in a city hotel is always useful when there are groups of people, so sleep quality wasn't good and made for a long night"
