Lovely hotel just not the breakfast

Very friendly and helpful reception staff that made check in very easy. Room wonderful and modern, having the extras of coffee and water facilities in the room is always a brilliant bonus. We had a quick bite to eat in the restaurant and meal was fresh and very enjoyable with great service. However, the only let down was the breakfast, which was vast and a run off her feet woman trying to clean tables, show guests to their table whilst trying to keep the vast food topped up Very under staffed and a better breakfast at Mc D’s would have been more enjoyable!

Learning the hard way

The hotel was great but its actual location was 5 miles away from the position shown on the hotels.com map. We suggest you check it thoroughly before booking or you will need to spend a fortune on taxis to get to and from the city centre.
