Average stay, expensive for what it is.

For £20-£30 more you’re better off staying at the Hilton round the corner.

Checked in around 21:00. No dramas, helpful staff. Payment for parking (discounted to £10 for hotel guests) made at a machine opposite. Plenty of parking available when we stayed, despite it not being a particularly large car park. Room was tiny for a family with the sofa bed out (smaller than a Premier Inn, for example), but we only stayed a few hours. Breakfast started at 04:00, so we were able to grab something, but it was very much just a croissant in a paper bag, so not ideal.

Once I Was In, It Was Fine!

My visit was soured at the start by a 15 minute wait to be checked in at reception, due to one member of staff operating the bar and check ins! After I was finally in my room, it was standard HI Express fare.

Very clean room, nice welcoming guy on arrival, breakfast ok restaurant meals a bit pricey and not top quality but it’s a budget hotel so it’s to be expected, only downside was the guy on booking out who literally couldn’t be bothered to even speak to us, but all in all we enjoyed our time at the hotel.
