Disliked: Room comfort
The aircon kept turning off and didn’t cool the room it stayed at 33. One side of the bed was uncomfortable and was sinking in. No phone to call reception. The shower started dripping after four hours after four hours after use. Ironing board had a stain and the iron had sticky stuff on it. Breakfast wasn’t offered or supplied. No bottle water supplied. We couldn’t use the lift or the car park without a team member.

The gentlemen on reception was welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and tidy and well resourced. I stayed on the 4th floor and there was no traffic noise. I have reviewed some of the other comments made by past guests and must admit that my experience was the total opposite of some of the negative feedback I sighted. The facility appeared to be very well run and professional. I was extremely happy with the stay and will most definitely be a returning guest.

We had a stranger enter our room and look through all of our things and move things around, eat our food and sleep in our bed. Clearly this hotel doesn’t value security of its guests as it allowed someone else to get a hold of the same keycard. Also the clientele seemed to be rowdy and potentially intoxicated and we are now finding out that they house drug addicts from a nearby hospital. Disgusting. Awaiting a full refund

Stayed here for one night and it was a very nice hotel, in a good location. Friendly staff and easy check in. Room was nice apart from the stains on the bedroom floor near the mirror. Only down fall was I got an email a few days prior asking if needed parking I said yes and then was told on arrival that the car park is full as there is only 15 car spots so had to leave our car out on the road as there wasn’t anywhere with available spots close to us at that time. It was free parking but with cars getting stolen daily you get abit worried. And cleaning trying to come into the room before it was even check out time. Overall was a really good stay and will book again.
