Expensive one night stop
Pros:

Staff were friendly, organising a late check-in was easy and good communication about the process. The room was clean and.comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Cons:

I couldnt order any food as the kitchen had closed. There wasnt a.lift so had to carry cases up the stairs. The staff did help with the bags but something to note if you are.able to walk up steps.

It’s okay hotel. Rooms are decent. Does not reflect the 8.2 ratings on Booking.com. Need modern TVs with streaming apps.
Cons:

They have old tiny tvs that has no streaming, just standard tv. For a hotel rated 8.2 on Booking.com. You would expect modern tv.
