Pros:

Really clean and comfortable. I only stayed for one night so can’t comment on the facilities but the staff were friendly, the parking was easy and had a reduced rate. Location was great for what I needed. Can’t really go wrong with one of the IHG hotels!

Pros:

This property has so many pluses, location, safety,cleanliness, lovely friendly, respectful, kind,competent, professional staff, nice healthy variety of hot and cold breakfast option.( including with booking) Very good value for money. The hotel staff considered and acted appropriately including with compassion and safety to our children’s medical condition when informed.

Cons:

We were allocated the second to last floor. The view was lovely but a bit scary. However, safety measures were noticeably taken.

The room was clean and functional, but the amenities and décor could do with some attention.
Pros:

The room with two double beds suited our family's stay. The beds are comfy.

Cons:

For a room with two double beds accommodating three people, the basic amenities were surprisingly limited. There was only one teaspoon and just two tea sachets provided. No fridge. These are small details, but they fall short of the minimum you would reasonably expect for the number of guests staying in the room.
