Awful
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

Bedroom was very musty, had to sleep with windows open on a cold wet windy night as my partner suffers from asthma. A very large room but one of the radiators wasn’t working. The shower controls were either on or off, with no adjustment for height. As a short person it was way too high for me as didn’t want to wash my hair. Had the shower controls been working well I could’ve held in my hand but needed both hands to adjust temperature. We were well aware that check out was at 10.30 but reception felt the need to phone at 10.05 to tell us that we needed to vacate room!!

Pros:

Exceptional value for money, we were worried about parking as it was on a residential street, but the hotel sorted that out with a visitors parking permit at no extra cost to us. The hotel had a very welcoming atmosphere and was very clean. Our room although a bit on the small side was clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. The shower was absolutely incredible the best we've experienced in any hotel we have stayed at. Will definitely be booking there again.

Cons:

Nothing it was perfect
