We had a brief but very enjoyable stay making use of spa, bar and restaurant. Would recommend
Pros:

Location was good for walking access to city centre. Spa was very quiet when we used it. Facilities in spa were great and very clean. All the staff we came across were friendly.

Cons:

Decor was very grey, literally.

Looks a good hotel but has limitations
Pros:

There were good spa facilities thought the swimming pool was smaller than I anticipated ( clever photo angle) the beds were comfortable with decent pillows ( but I don’t like the new way of tucking the duvet into the foot of the bed so you have pull hard to free it.

Cons:

It was a labyrinth. Even with the one lift to the second floor we had to walk up steps as well as along miles of corridors to get to our room. Rather than ask for prepayment facilities, we had to pay for the breakfast in advance ( but not the car parking - which at £7.20 per night was daylight robbery) and we also had to pay for our meal each night. We are used to paying everything on checkout!!

Very nice hotel in great location - loved the spa
Pros:

Very nice hotel within easy walk of the centre. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed a good buffet breakfast. The spa exceeded my expectations and was very welcome on a miserable rainy day!

Excellent for a short break.
Pros:

The Staff! Honestly, I felt such a welcome from the moment we stepped through the door and my opinion didn’t change throughout the visit.
The facilities in the Spa were clean and well laid out.
The restaurant staff and food made for a great night ‘in’ when it was too cold and wet to venture into town.

Cons:

The room was very cold. The staff listened and even though we were told the engineer has fixed the heating it was still cold. A portable heater was installed which solved the problem.

The Spa rules regarding videoing, use of phones and respecting the need for quiet weren’t followed by two noisy irritating guests on Tic Tok 😡

Enjoyable trip with a friend but unsure if I would return
Pros:

Lovely lounge and location within walking distance of the centre

Cons:

Would have enjoyed a more comfortable lounge area. One twin bed was very uncomfortable and sloped downwards at the head.
