So we arrvived early to check-in and joined the que but staff failed to keep to this and allowed 2 people to jump in before me. Room was warm and a lack of plug sockets also the TV had a crack in the center on the screen i reported this and not repaired and offered a desk fan to try and help with room temp but lack of sockets ment could not use. Breakfast was ok food below average with only choice of sauce being tomato. For the price you can get a better quantity of room for location

The small hotel parking is open to public for the same price, and hotel being next to the Excel means there is nooo parking space available during an event. The sign when entering the parking always says there is space, but it’s not true, when you get in, you will see there is no car park available and many cars already entered and found no space is available, and now they have to pay £5 to exit the car park.

Very pleasant and comfortable stay

Very pleasant stay - I have stayed here before so I knew that the Hotel was very clean and the rooms were a very good size and very clean. The only issue we had was that the room key didn't work when we first checked in but I understand this was a technical issue within the hotel which was rectified later that evening.

A few improvements needed

One night stay with friends. Arrived to be told the wifi and electricity was down. Taken to our room by member of staff, no offer of drink to apologise and we weren’t advised that the issue was fixed (as advised we would). Room was very hot, which meant we didn’t sleep well. We went to the bar to order some drinks but no one offered to bring them to us.
