comfortable, car park helpful, breakfast ok price as alot to offer..
Pros:

location was great.. walking distance to shops, restaurants was great.
Car park was close.. and for 24hrs so after check out we had time to do some shopping and leave the car..
Room was big enough for two people
in the room there was no traffic - great

Cons:

No stand up fan in the room.. not everyone wants air con on
Extra blanket was itchy
New to the area so wasn't explained about how far the car park was.. or how to get to the hotel from the car park..
Very disappointed in the fact i had to go to reception to get my breakfast voucher.. in the morning where as I should've got this at check in..
no fan in the bathroom.. but noticed the upgrade sign so maybe this is coming..

Cons:

Room was shabby and cold. Uncomfortable beds and very noisy location resulted in a poor night's sleep.

Cons:

You could make it a bit clearer and smoother like this:

Issues sorting the Wi-Fi on the TV. I was informed via chat that reception was available 24 hours, but when I went down at night for a request, there was no receptionist available.

The parking shutter also only opens when the receptionist activates it from inside, which became an issue when we returned late and no one opened it. We had to call multiple times and wait quite a while before someone answered.

A bit wet.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

There was a leakage which grew during the 2 nights. We told staff and they were aware of it. My husband went through untold pairs of socks as each time he got out of bed his socks got soaked. We were on the 7th floor.
