Better to just do room only stay
Stay was okay. Room was pleasant. Breakfast experience was very poor. Unclean cutlery, dirty tables and floor. One guy rushing about doing everything so service was restricted. Parking was ridiculous. If you can’t get parked you need to dangerously reverse all the way out to the main road. People parking in a poor way which means others can’t get parked next to them.

Theatre break
Ive stayed at this hotel a few times . Its always clean and warm . The hotel staff are friendly and polite. A lovely breakfast is served, but the evening meals are very limited, not my choice. The car parking used to be free ,but now there's a five pound charge. Its very central and a short walk from the theater.

Sleepless night
Unfortunately I was in room 308 which is next to the flag. I think it’s the flag that was making that noise, so with every gust of wind it was like a fun shot and in between the gunshot it was like a cage was being rolled back and forth in the room next door. Not sure why this rooms allowed to be used if there’s a high wind. To say I was tired for work the next day is an understatement, only stayed so I could be fresh and hit work quicker.

Not recommended, poor experience
Small sized room compacted like a ghetto. Lift was not working, had to take steps with luggage to go to third floor. Request for a lower floor rejected perhaps since this was not a direct booking. Breakfast quality not adequate to match the price. Overall a very poor experience.
