Perfect !
Pros:

I have used this hotel
Many times as my son is at uni in Leeds. Absolutely love it. The car park next door is super handy and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Since the rodizio opened, I have also enjoyed a couple of great meals there. All in all, top notch !

Cons:

Its location, the comfort of the rooms and the staff’s friendliness.

Pros:

Was able to top up with the tea facility from downstairs, I really liked the key card to use the lifts made me feel much safer as a lone traveler

Cons:

My shower hose wouldn’t stay at the right angle so the water sprayed at the screen and not at me, had to hold shower so I was able to use it
