Super hospitality great location comfy beds
Pros:

The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were stylish and had great appliances ( wasn’t expecting a washer and dryer!). It was great to have access to the gym. Easy walking to pubs and nice restaurants. But the lovely receptionist went above and beyond to help us with our tv issue and was very hospitable- 5 stars!!

Cons:

Cleanliness could have been a bit better but overall it was good.
