The hotel was ok, nice to have free parking! Our room was old and tired. Needs some refurbishing, walls are dirty, and the furniture is scuffed and really dated. The room was also hot and stuffy, even with the window open. The view was not good either, with basically a burned out building. So based on this trip most of the rooms booked through Expedia seem to have zero views!

Location is excellent, rooms are clean and spacious. However the rooms are very tired, worn and dated. Front desk experience is very dependent on who you speak to. First encounter was acceptable at best as she just went through the motions with zero welcoming. Later, a younger gentleman was very helpful and friendly.

It was easily found in the high st, as it was big. Plenty of parking underground. Room was on the front and on a warm night was noisy with windows open. No Hotel Info in the room which is always helpful. Restaurant food was good and good evening entertainment at weekend.
