Noisy

Was a nice clean comfortable room but very noisy. Didn’t get much sleep due to the noise from the clubs and pubs. I should have realised when I booked it that it would have been noisy so partly my fault. My daughter had a cheerleading competition all weekend so was extremely tired on the Sunday morning performing with no sleep. Apart from the noise, was a nice hotel

Terrible experience for the cost. The checkin for the hotel is in a different hotel across the road. No heating in the room. Very stark room designed for disabled users, noisy nightclub across the road.

Was not told that there was on-going maintenance works. It started at 07:30 am in the morning which completely ruined the stay. I would not recommend this hotel. Made a complaint through Expedia and apparently the hotel didn’t even respond.

Clean, Huge Room

Lovely clean room and it was huge! Had everything we needed for.our stay. Building felt safe and was in a really convenient spot on the high street. Even though it was a saturday night, the noise was not an issue. Only criticism is that the room was really really warm! It was snowing outside but the room was still too warm, id be a little worried about staying in the warmer weather as ive noticed from other reviews that this is a problem all year round.
