The room was clean and spacious, however the booking stated a king bed and stocked minibar, but the bed was a double and the minibar was empty. Not a big deal and couldn't be bothered to change rooms so we didn't say anything. The location was nice and central with parking easy to find.

I was really happy with both the cleanliness of my room and public spaces throughout the hotel. The food in the restaurant was really tasty and the breakfast excellent. All staff were friendly and attentive. All in all I found my stay comfortable and convenient for the city centre and public transport. I would definitely stay again.

So we stayed over at the hotel for two nights. I had a little bit of an accident in the bedding because I have been on chemotherapy. I assumed when I came back to the hotel room that the bedding would have been changed however the cleaner made the bed but did not change the bedding. We were very lucky there was two beds, however The cleaner also left a packet of crisp on my other bed. I’m not quite happy with the standard of cleaning in the hotel for the first time after staying at the hotel numerous times. Upon checking in it took us such a long time because there was only one member of staff at the desk we had ordered food so by the time we had got to our room, the food had got cold so that was disappointing.
