Short and sweet, would use them again.
Pros:

Location. Good food. Comfy bed

Cons:

Soulless room, but comfortable. No proper beer, just smooth flow stuff.
It was a bit expensive but apparently that was because I’d used Booking.com.

Pros:

Central, clean, good breakfast

Cons:

Disappointing evening meal. Wife sent her meal back. Ordered the Chicken Curry but was made with poor quality Chicken and not a Chicken breast as advertised. Waitress was apologetic and offered another option.

Different to what we’re used to.
Pros:

The property itself was fantastic as was the food & staff. We certainly will be returning.

Cons:

There was a 40th birthday party on in the function suit but they spent their time in the lounge which made it very noisy and we couldn’t have a conversation. Our friends and us had to go to bed after dinner as we couldn’t have a conversation. This is not a reflection on the hotel itself, just the party.
