Cons:

The bathroom smelled. And there was no loo seat which is unhygienic when flushing. It was a disabled loo so perhaps something that’s required.

Pros:

Great location in a quiet area, but still very close to everything you need to get to. Super cheery staff on reception. A great breakfast and comfy room

Cons:

Not much to complain about, they used to provide take out cups and boxes.So you could grab a coffee and bacon roll, rather than sit in for breakfast. They weren't there this time, which was ok because I had time to enjoy a full breakfast, but they are a great idea and should be brought back

Brilliant guest service
Pros:

I had 3 interactions with staff from the hotel. The first one before arrival - Julie who dealt with my room request brilliantly. Nothing was too much to ask. The second was during breakfast - the dining room staff were polite, happy and helpful. Finally I had left something in the room after departure. The reception team organised to have it sent via Evri for me. Again this was dealt with in a really helpful manner. Thank you to all.

Great location
Well maintained
Close to a car park

Good location- good choice at breakfast- nice rooms
Pros:

Great location- modern and clean
Aircon very good!!

Cons:

Only (small) issue was the bar didn’t serve coffee after 10.30pm, a few people asked but were told the machine had just been cleaned and to use the kettle in our room.
Not a major issue - but 4* should be able to do this
