Disappointing
The hotel is tired with dirty carpets. The customer service at check in, reception and the bar were not very good. No expected added extras such as shower caps, water etc in the room. Stayed at Novotel in Leeds and it was lovely.

Would eat/drink here but not sleep.
Staff were lovely, the lobby was warm and welcoming and the bar/restaurant were very comfortable. In regards to the room - the main shower head was very obviously in need of replacing or at least cleaning and there was a noise coming from above us that sounded like a washing machine which started in the evening and ended in the morning, I only slept a few hours because it kept me up. I tried Novotel because I fancied a change from our usual hotel choice but I don't think I'll go here again.
