Excellent friendly staff, perfect location with parking. Great selection at breakfast too.
Pros:

Location is perfect for the city centre. Spa is great too. Staff were super friendly which is always a bonus.

Cons:

It was very hot in there. Too hot to sleep in. Pillows were uncomfortable too.
I’m literally splitting hairs here but it’s always good to know these things.

As I said prior the hotel served its purpose for a one night stay.
Pros:

It served its purpose for a one night stay. The bed was comfortable. The reception staff were very pleasant.

Cons:

The room was hot even with the window left open, but there was a portable fan supplied. The shower head height was low and the toiletries supplied were very basic. The breakfast was well organised and the breakfast was ok.
