Awful. Will never return!
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

My room was in the roof space, with no direct access via lift but by a narrow, steep staircase. The room was baking hot, the air conditioning was broken, and the small pedestal fan rattled against its casing all night. I also parked my car in the car park. When I checked in I was asked for my registration plate, but there was no mention of any associated charges. As a guest, I would have assumed this was complimentary given it’s not central London or near an airport. But no, £12.50 for just over 12 hours of parking. Shocking not to have been told beforehand, and outrageously expensive for a provincial city hotel.

Lovely friendly hotel nice and central but lacking communication with clients. If a client states they need accessible a
Pros:

Nice and central close to shops and local transport . Friendly staff

Cons:

I booked an accessible room for my Nan who can’t walk far and really struggles with stairs. I attached a message letting them know, however when we arrived the lift was broken the engineers had been out 3 days prior, however we only received the email on day of arrival which didn’t give us time to find alternative accommodation. They moved us to the first floor, however this is still two flights of stairs (25 steps). My Nan pushed herself up/down these stairs but could only manage it once a day which spoiled the holiday and then she struggled to get into bed as her legs were strained. My car was booked into the car park for stay however nearly two weeks later I received 3 parking tickets which they cancelled after a couple of phone calls.

Pros:

Staff were amazing. Rooms clean and tidy. Location perfect

Cons:

We were in a room above where deliveries were done, which would have been ok if we had been warned about the noise at around 5am every morning. Windows did not close so it was loud.
