A great hotel for guests including foreigners visiting or dropping their children to UH College
Pros:

Clean comfortable rooms with good options - breakfast, bar & restaurant.

Cons:

Free internet availability is limited and makes attending to any urgent work issues cumbersome

Pleasantly Vintage Stay
Pros:

I loved the vintage style as I had booked due to the heritage of the hotel. The hotel was clean throughout and the staff were helpful but discreet. Our rooms were lovely. Both were clean, beds very comfortable and rooms were quiet due to us being in the original building. The period features within the hotel and room were beautiful. Enjoyed the drinks options/water bottle which were topped up during our stay. Also the rooms were surprisingly quiet considering the busy road outside. Easy access to bus stops outside the hotel, and equally it was easy to order a taxi (noted reception are happy to do this if you are unable to arrange yourself).

Cons:

The only feedback is that the breakfasts were not quite up to scratch. On both mornings we found that some of the hot food had run out, and we were waiting a while for parts of the cooked breakfast to be brought out. Also there did not appear to be much choice for the cold options e.g. cheeses, meats. In addition although there was the option to ask for alternative eggs, we were not approached by staff to ask if we needed anything or to offer other things such as pots of tea. Maybe pots of tea are not an option at this hotel, but I think considering this is a vintage hotel, that this would be a nice touch.

Only stayed a single night but got a good night's sleep which was the main priority.
Pros:

Comfy beds, good air con.

Cons:

Only provided with a single key card despite two staying so every time one of us left the building the electric would go off in the room for the person left there. Not ideal when in the shower at night

Clean and comfortable hotel with quality bathroom toiletries
Pros:

Very clean and well equipped rooms with hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Bed was extremely comfortable and the soap and moisturiser in the bathroom smelt lovely and was a very nice touch.

Cons:

The only reason I haven't given this hotel top marks is because our room was backing onto the student accommodation next door and when we got back to our room there was quite a group of students outside in their accommodation grounds and they were loud and a little rowdy so we could hear them in our room. They didn't disperse until about 2am.

Fine for one night - and handily located - but would inspire repeat visits
Pros:

The hotel is conveniently sited; the rooms are very clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

But, as so often in hotels with low bed occupancy rate, and thus no incentive to nurture customers, the breakfast was no more than adequate. By 7.15am (15 minutes from start), most items on the self-service trays were already lukewarm at best

Pros:

Liked the art deco design and comfortable room

Cons:

Staff weren't welcoming.
No recognition of wife's birthday which I had told the hotel about.
We were rushed at breakfast and photos of surroundings were misleading.

Pleasant short stay.
Pros:

The rooms were bright and clean and reasonably well equipped. The breakfast was very good with a selection of Full English and Continental choices but was quite expensive. Throughout our stay, all of the staff we talked to and interacted with were very friendly, accommodating and efficient. The food and drink in the restaurant were priced as expected for a hotel and was good quality. The hotels position is good for the University and local attractions.

Cons:

The selection and quantity of drinks in the room was insufficient for the stay. The breakfast, although very nice, was expensive. We were given a Taxi firm telephone to call as they gave the Hotel a "special deal" but the price for the short journey (less than 2 miles) was extremely expensive (£12) and the return with another company later at night was cheaper (£10) so they need to look to see who their "friends" are. The menu in the restaurant is a little sparse and could have more choice.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Friendly reception staff went above and beyond to accommodate our early arrival.

Air con was amazing during the heatwave, made such a big difference

Lovely room with large comfortable bed, an iron, hairdryer etc and I really liked that they included some herbal teas in the drink selection. Toiletries from the white company were nice too.

Good base location.

Very good value for money on a Friday night

Quiet, no noise or disturbance so had a great sleep

Free parking! This was a big plus.

Would definitely stay again if I was in this area : )
