Overall it was a pleasure stay. even with the issue I had.
Pros:

On entering the hotel it was very nice and stylish. Clean and tidy..
I liked the size of the room and the bed was very comfortable It was very nice and quiet where the room was situated

Cons:

Ii didn't like that I could not use the fan as the PAT test on it was dated July 2024 and thought it was out dated so felt it was unsafe to use and the room got too hot. I did ask a member of staff about it and they said they would look in to i but didn't hear more about it.
There wasn't any toilet roll in the bathroom on arrival and had to ask at the reception deck. I found that embarrassing and also there was no toilet brush to clean inside of the toilet.
On the second night the handle broke off one of the cups...came off in hand, I was lucky I hadn't put any hot water in the cup yet.
I mentioned it at reception and was told they would replace it, but it wasn't replaced.
I found there wasn't enough hangers for the clothes for 2 adults staying 5 nights. There were only 5 hangers.
On the website it stated it had a hairdryer available in the room, so I didn't take mind, but there wasn't one in the room.

Avoid room 212
Pros:

Staff were nice and helpful

Cons:

The room was inaccessible due to technical issues with the room key and door, meaning we had to ask reception staff to open the door each time we entered. The toilet was continuously dripping throughout the night. Bathroom sink was blocked.

Pros:

The staff were kind and the breakfast was fine. The proximity to the train station and the town centre was convenient, while being away from a lot of noise.

Cons:

The room was slightly grim. Some light touch ups could go a long way. Aircon should be installed. The hallway was very hot and clammy.
