Dissapointed
Pros:

Staff were great

Cons:

Being charged £25 for overnight parking; after searching hotels with parking and booking we were told to contact the hotel to reserve a space only to find an additional £25 on what was already a premium room charge.
Then when we accessed the room it was stifling hot, we tried the airconditioning and it wasn't working. So we contacted reception only to be told it was broken in all rooms and that rather than fix it they had simply taken it off the website as something they provide??? They suggested we open the window and gave us a fan... all well and good apart from the fact that the hotel overlooks a busy road with police cars rattling up and down until the early hours...

One night, felt like a holiday.
Pros:

The staff were all exceptionally kind and very responsive to a solo traveller.
The grounds are very calm for a city hotel and a comfortable place to relax in.

Pros:

Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff and lovely breakfast.

Cons:

The air conditioning in our room wasn't working and with very little ventilation the room was quite stuffy. Fans had been provided so this was clearly a known issue but not worth trying to do anything about as only staying one night.

There was also barely any wardrobe space (quite literally) in the room.

Nice staff but not value for money.
Pros:

Bar staff were wonderful. Location was perfect.

Cons:

We opted for a deluxe room but I was very disappointed as it was lower/ground floor level with fully glazed windows so we couldn't see outside at all - not even to tell what the weather was doing. The room also smelt of cheesy feet which was off putting! Every now and again the shower would let out a short burst of water and there's no door to the bathroom so this was quite annoying throughout the night. The overall feel of the room was therefore quite depressing. None of this made me feel good when I'd spent more to treat ourselves on a deluxe room.
