Great hotel. Staff very good. Bed super comfy. I just found the room too hot. The air conditioning was making a lot of noise but didn’t seem to cool the room. So I didn’t sleep very well sadly.

Could be better - room and facilities fone

Not attractive setting opposite industrial area and building site but clearly a development area. Restaurant dinner was disappointing and service was slow - dishes were not cleared during breakfast which was basic but ok.

Not the best welcome as they demand a credit card and are unable to take the hold charge with Apple Pay. They don need to realise that’s the future and people may not have the card! To be role ‘well you need to ring someone’ isn’t very good!
