Great place to stay - 50 m to the light rail to city centre with shops, cinemas an supermarkets. 5 minute drive to Dickson shops with fast food and supermarkets. We had a front facing room which was quiet regarding road noise but as always, other guests were noisy. Staff was great and had the best carbanara gnocchi ive ever had at the motel dinning room.

We discovered we'd been upgraded by surprise & thoroughly enjoyed our spa suite. Our room was lovely & quiet, the bed was comfy & it was a perfect birthday present for me. The Atrium was incredible with all the foliage & beautifully maintained gardens. Just wish we'd had more time to enjoy the Hotel & all its facilities.

Common areas are brilliant in the Pavilion but the apartment we had because we needed a walk in shower was tired and needed an upgrade urgently. Reception staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. Restaurant food was OK and the staff were very attentive. We would stay there again but would ask if the rooms have been renovated or upgraded. Another plus is the Tram line to the city is right outside the hotel.
