Pros:

The staff team did an exceptional job of making us comfortable upon arrival. The room was clean and also the breakfast was exceptional despite it being standard breakfast items.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi signal during our stay was not very good. It kept dropping every few minutes. This issue was not raised to the staff at the hotel. Also, the parking was rather difficult to find. However, the front desk was very supportive with instructions.

Pros:

Good parking, with a reasonable cost for 24hrs and direct access to the hotel. Excellent location.
Very clean.
Good value breakfast considering it is included in the price.
Whole cost and experience was acceptable with a couple of niggles.
Smiley breakfast staff.
Very good shower.

Cons:

Once someone has gained access to the hotel, the security seems quite low. Lifts do not need cards, corridor doors to stairs open without card.
Staff did not make directions to carpark completely clear. 'First left and left again' takes you into an internal deadend.
Receptionist on checking in was inclined to disagree with her customer - not entirely professional!
The room had a tiresome intermittent ticking noise. It sounded like a drain (but wasn't)
The room became far too hot overnight. Thermostat had been put up to 29 which I did not realise on first arriving. At that point the room seemed fine.

Pros:

The hotel had a very central location, which made it easy to get around and access nearby restaurants, and shops. Overall, the location was the main highlight of the stay.

Cons:

I was given a room designed for guests with disabilities, even though I had not requested one. The bathroom layout was very uncomfortable and not pleasant to use.
Also, the breakfast was exactly the same every day for five days, which became repetitive and disappointing.
