Lovely stay, although the games provided are a little worse for wear. Pool table missing a ball, no cue chalk, pinball machine doesn’t work. Just little things that would need to be replaced. The room was nice. Clean. Friendly staff and security. Would stay again however I think it’s a little overpriced for what you get.

Hotel is lovely, modern and clean however there were 2 issues during my stay. Firstly the air conditioning was not working, it was producing warm air into the room. They sent someone out to look at it however they explained it was on winter mode and did not produce cold air during winter, i would not have booked this hotel if i had known it did not have air con. Also i was woken at 2am by doors being slammed multiple times, after speaking to reception they said it was a member of staff who was delivering items to rooms. Surely staff should be as quite a possible during the night so guests can sleep
