Fab time in Leeds
Pros:

It was close to the train station and the city centre - Nice bar for drinks in the evening on our way back after a great meal out - Lovely buffet breakfast 😀😀

Cons:

The bed could have done with having a harder mattress ( but that’s personal choice ) and the separate toilet was painted dark grey and had no extractor fan ( it was just a grim space ) 🙃🙃
