Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is clean. Great location & nice staff. The shared areas of the hotel are lovely, but the condition of the rooms leaves a lot to be desired, as did the food. Extra for parking & use of leisure services. Over priced for the quality of hotel which needs an uplift in the rooms desperately.

All is fine. And the hotel is good value for money. However if you’re unlucky enough to have a room facing in, you have the noise of fans 24/7.
