Pros:

The location was great and practical for been close the my daughter who was born 5 weeks premature

Cons:

The fact I went to jump in the shower, and when I jumped out and lifted what was meant to be clean towels off the side, the side was covered in pubic hair. That's vile. Still waiting for a resolution and I've contact both the hotel and head office

Very happy, would come again.
Pros:

Room was compact, but clean and had everything I needed for my 2 night stay. Not the hotel's fault, but I could hear building works outside very late at night.

Cons:

Just the outside noise. If windows were better soundproofed it would have been perfect.

Overall very good. Staff might benefit from dinner customer service training
Pros:

Great location, clean functional space and great value for money

Cons:

We only had 2 bath towels (no hand towel and no bath mat) as 2 ladies in a twin room this would have been disappointing had either of us wanted to wash our hair.
Reception staff were not very friendly or welcoming on check in or check out

Good hotel, close to everything, friendly staff
Pros:

Clean, comfortable and rooms well designed

Cons:

The only downside is no chair in rooms, so for longer stays sitting on the bed can be uncomfortable, also maybe more music variety in the breakfast room would be a good plan
