Pros:

Nice and near to our destination and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was tasty send plentiful. The Wasington also provided day parking which was very useful as we were able to go to and from the hospital by taxi, making the whole time less stressful. Thankyou! Brilliant shower and thoughtful touches to the in room refreshments.

Cons:

The decor was rather tired in our room which was on the lower ground floor. No other issues.

I shall not be staying here are recommending it to friends or family
Cons:

The room was cold for my whole stay, when mentioned to the front reception staff I was told there was an extra blanket , not what I would expect for the price I paid for the stay. Room felt like it was in the basement which was not advertised.

Pros:

The friendliness of the reception staff and the hotel was clean and well maintained. In the room there was fruit, biscuits ,an excellent range of drinks including filter coffee with a cafetiere and some sweets! I was not expecting this from a hotel that was the best value locally.

Cons:

I was upgraded to a twin room and one of the beds was a little soft for my liking. Not a big deal.
