Perfect room for a short trip, comfortable and well decorated! Thanks so much
Pros:

I was surprised to see how much space we had in studio one, and was ecstatic with the tidiness and presentation of the room. The hotel is incredibly easy to find with parking just outside the room.

Cons:

The only thing I could fault is the cleanliness of the tv remote, i noticed quite a lot of dirt buildup and so I think that should be cleaned. however overall my stay was fantastic!

I enjoyed my stay, the location was perfect for my requirements.
Pros:

My room was comfortable and clean. It was on the second floor which could have been hot and stuffy but the hotel supplied a fan in the room which was very much appreciated.

Cons:

Not the hotel's fault, but the road is very noisy, even at night.

They mattress on the bed was the worst I've ever had. Not enough parking had to park elsewhere. The room was very small. Not good value for money.

On the whole, it was rather disappointing.
Pros:

The bedroom was nice and when I was cold someone came straight away to fix it.

Cons:

The breakfast was virtually non existent. The fridge was empty. No orange juice, milk or yoghurt. The fruit was only satsumas and lemon which were wrinkled and had seen better days.
