Informal, buzzy hotel with lovely, friendly and efficient staff. Had an issue with our room and quickly moved. We booked basic twin but would go for the club in future as more roomy and modernised. Dog friendly hotel, dogs I think are booked into the ground floor rooms. Menus in bar and restaurant which are right next door to each other are good for allergies. I’m GF but had no problem. Pool is small and busy but all one depth and not too deep. Well maintained and you can’t get in without filling in a form, being a guest or a member. Didn’t have time for a treatment. Hotel parking is limited, saw some charging points. We parked in front of hotel reception in the public car park which was fine about £7 a day I think? There is a short walk to the Cathedral, shops and even nearer for the theatre. Slopey rather than hilly. Good location. We felt safe there. Good shopping! Will book again.

Excellent location, reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. Restaurant food was excellent, the strawberry shortcake dessert the best I have ever had. Breakfast buffet could be laid out better. Air conditioning turned off at night so the bedroom became hotter and could not be adjusted, very frustrating as this was a major reason why we booked the hotel in the first place.

I stay here frequently and always something wrong with the room, this time the air conditioning didn’t work and they gave me a fan - it was really hot. Last time I had a room with a broken blind, they had given me that room the week before so I asked to change second time around
