Functional stay.
Pros:

Central location. Plenty of parking. Receptionist helpful.

Cons:

It was a bit characterless and the room whilst pleasant could have been better. Little extras like small biscuits, a notepad and pen etc that other hotels I’ve stayed in provide FOC would have been nice. Road noise was loud and windows that opened would have been good too.

Lovely hotel, shame about the Management
Pros:

Lovely hotel, good location for city centre, a 10 min walk to Hippodrome. Clean and comfy room. Very quiet.
Reception staff very friendly and helpful on arrival.

Cons:

Unfortunately the fire alarm control panel inside the main entrance was lit up orange and showing faults in 3 zones. When I raised this with the manager at 11pm, he said it had been like that for 3 years and was not an emergency. I asked him if he knew how to interrogate the control panel to find out where the faults were and he did not which is very concerning as the Manager. I explained that an alarm engineer should be called and he said he would do this. 11am the next morning and the alarm control panel was still showing faults in 3 zones which put all the guests at risk of fire. I spoke to the Receptionist who did not know how to use the control panel and said she would contact an engineer. I left shortly afterwards so do not know if it was rectified.
