Nice stay
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Front of house staff when asked a few questions after were a bit short and quite abrupt and could have been a little less hostile when I was trying to clarify a point.

It is a very good place to stay, I would definitely recommend it.
Pros:

Location is easy to find, good customer service, room is clean, spacious and bed is very comfortable. Facilities in the room are in good working condition,.

Cons:

It was my first time in the hotel. I didn’t like that I struggled to find my room upstairs (209). Description not so clear and I felt like walking in a maze.

Comfortable but needed a tweak!
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. The double sinks were a good idea. Plenty of plug sockets. Kitchenette good but needs a sink/taps to wash cups & fill kettle. Settee good idea & dining table.

Cons:

The television in bedroom wouldn't work on our final day. And the dressing table Stool was broken, by previous guests.

Friendly staff but cleanliness not great
Pros:

Excellent, friendly service at the bar and the food was fine.

Cons:

Cleanliness overall in corridors wasn't great and in the bedroom it was poor, very dusty in the wardrobe area and clearly not checked / cleaned for a long time - to the extent that there was a womens 'bra insert' sitting on the shelf covered in dust...
