Ok, good location, but kit sure if we would stay again.
Pros:

Seal on bottom of shower was broken, so the bathroom filled up with water and made the floor slippy. I spoke to a staff member the next morning, but they didn’t seem too bothered or offer any sort of apology. Also woken up at 6am on a Sunday morning by people talking in the corridor wasn’t great.

Cons:

Bathroom slippy and unsafe, also being woken up early.

We would have no hesitation in visiting the hotel should the occasion present itself.
Cons:

The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and easy to use although we would have liked them to have been a little more spacious.

Convenient for nearby wedding
Pros:

Convenient location, friendly staff, easy parking.

Cons:

Lifts were hard to operate. Breakfast was hectic....logistics didn't work...no one had forks...or no one had bacon...or there were no cups. Staff were working hard but seems like kitchen was far and staff on Sunday morning were few.

Enjoy the comfy room but was let down by noise and poor facilities
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable with the required level of services.

Cons:

We asked a quit room but corridor noise of people closing rooms meant we could hear people arriving late at night.
Our shower head kept coming off during a shower which means maintenance of the room is poor.
