The hotel is a little tired but the rooms are large and well equipped. I chose an executive double room on my last overnight stay, and was very impressed with the difference from a standard double for not much extra cost.

An exceptional hotel for the price. My first room was immaculate but the matress was soft and lumpy. The TV didn't have all the channels available, and although I wouldnt nirmally I went and told reception. The receptionist couldn't have been more helpful and immediately changed my room to an upgraded room at no extra charge. I stay here overnight for work every momth, and will continue to do so.
