Great location for the city centre, Highcross shopping centre and lots of dining options nearby. Not a great place for taxis to pick up/drop off. As with many hotels, I'm sure, the double bed was 2 single beds joined together, but this was very noticeable and there was an uncomfortable dip in the middle.
