Decent for the price
Pros:

Big comfy bed. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Room & hotel were unbearably hot. Had to turn radiator off and sleep with windows wide open as bathroom radiator was fixed on max too.
Broken lift buttons slightly concerning but it worked.

Lovely staff. Good parking. Central location
Pros:

There was no breakfast which meant finding somewhere to eat every morning. The room was large with comfy bed and nice white linen. Tea making facilities and very warm room overlooking roof terrace.

Cons:

Plug missing in sink. Lift often didn’t work. The upstairs areas are far nicer than the ground floor which doesn’t appear to be used.
