A good quality hotel at a reasonable price. 1min walk to BIC and less than 5min to the Pavilion. I have stayed here twice and have no complaints. This is my hotel of choice when attending these venues. Just be warned that they have a nightclub which is open some nights and this can be heard on the top floor.

I stayed 1 night . It was directly opposite the Theatre which is what I came for and an easy walk into town. The Hotel was busy with live music for those who like a lively evening. I was on a higher floor so I slept ok. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Be aware that there is a bar that stays open until 4am on the premises, and it can easily prevent sleep. The night I stayed it sounded like raccoons going at it in a trash can full of broken glass all night long.

I asked if we could have a late check booked, which is £10 an hour, so we paid £20 to check out at 1pm, but at 12.15, the housekeeper was knocking on the door, I said we weren't ready, but still came back and knocked again 10 minutes later, we booked a late checkout for a reason.
