Great place to stay close to coop live arena
Pros:

Great hotel, excellent breakfast, would of preferred a tea/coffee maker in the room, but it wasn't a problem to get it at the food area near the reception.

Cons:

Annoying that if booked through booking.com, then you don't get the free parking, even if you are a ihg member, this wasn't mentioned anywhere until you got to the property, but £5 for 24 hours wasn't too bad.

Comfortable
Pros:

Room cleanliness
Parking
Location

Cons:

The room they gave was facing the road and couldn't sleep very well because of the noise from the road. Better to avoid the road facing rooms.
