Love this hotel
Pros:

I stay here quiet often, must be my 6th time now. The staff cant do enough to help, any issues they are dealt with promptly. Beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. Location is brilliant, right in the middle of everything, cant fault the place. Will be returning soon 😊

Cons:

We was moved to the 3rd floor as our TV wasn't working, there was a slight smell in the corridor apparently coming from the drains but couldnt smell it in the rooms.
