The staff were very welcoming on arrival and departure. All relevant information was given regarding the hotel. Dinning staff at breakfast were helpful and friendly. as a female solo traveller I felt very safe.The Hotel and my room were spotlessly clean. The location is central for shopping, the park and some historical sites. Would highly recommend

Recent stay

With it being a Sunday night which was slow in foot traffic and the main bar being closed, we had dinner in the restaurant. Excellent fish and chips but 1 of my guests was served a very dry and tastless burger. It was removed from our bill which was appreciated. Service on drinks was slow and we needed to chase down refills. Breakfast in the morning was confusing. No direction from our server. Continental offerings we're spread all over the place. In the bar area there was cereal, juices and whole fruits. At the other end of the restaurant there's a 6ft table with coffee, yogurt and a huge industrial toaster. Coffee wasn't offered at the table, so you have to take the small coffee cup and fill it yourself. This proved to be a challenge getting back to your table without spilling it. Scrambled eggs are not freshly cracked eggs. There liquid eggs . Resulting in rubber eggs. Sausages were deep fried and not enjoyable. Room was clean but in room 6 the hand sink doesn't drain. Thank you Colin Brown

Good stay

Good stay. Room was comfortable and very clean. Information booklet in room was useful. Good amount of workspace and plenty of sockets. Good breakfast selection that was included in the price. Stored my luggage in a locked cupboard. Only negatives were the window treatments-slated vertical blinds are not the best choice as they let in a lot of light-a solid blind would be better so if you are sensitive to light an eye-mask would be useful. Also quite a lot of laminated signs in room-maybe condense or put in info. book.
