Nice location for walking to the city centre. Charge for parking is very cheeky, and the lack of spaces difficult. Our room was on the top floor,by the lift machanisms. It was very noisy all night.

Great staff. Room - not so great.
We initially had a room where there was some sort of industrial ‘buzzing sound’. We were given a new room where it was worse and finally a room which clearly wasn’t often used for guests. No great. Breakfast however was excellent and the staff tried everything to make our stay pleasant. We were told there was a fault with the heating system - hence the noise.

Comfortable stay. Breakfast busy & staff struggling to keep up. Shout out to Scot & Lisa who were amazing, friendly & helpful. Poor choice for decaf coffee. Should have decaf coffee beans in machine as well as caffinated. Instant is awful.
