Friendly staff and comfy bed.
Pros:

Lovely staff, easy check-in. I had an issue the following morning when I discovered after getting up that the shower wasn't working. However, a quick visit to reception resulted in being given a different room immediately. Bar staff very easy-going and happy to serve after normal opening hours.

Cons:

The only issue was the show as metioned above and the hassle of moving rooms but it was dealt with very well.

Great location.
Pros:

Great location. Easy walk from the train station. Reasonable value for money. Breakfast options were varied and the cooked breakfast was more than adequate.
Was extremely quiet overnight.

Cons:

Bed was a little small but quite comfortable.
Unfortunately the guests next door watched Titanic on the TV which was so loud I may as well have been in the room with them. A bit more soundproofing would be good.
No power sockets by the bed. The room was a bit tired but perfectly satisfactory.

Location

Cons:

The decor was tired and very basic. Television control was fixed to the furniture making it hard to use. The bathroom door did not close properly. BBC station fan noisy.
