I thought there would be a feel of luxury, but it was just slightly better than a Premier Inn.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. I liked the fridge in the room. The room was larger than I expected. I liked the 'additional extras' email you receive before your stay.

Cons:

The staff acted as if I should know where I was going, despite me saying I have never been there before. I was not told about using the key card in the lift and had to get another guest to help me out. No information on the facilities was given to me.
I didn't realise the car parking was an extra £12.50 per night. I would have thought with the price you pay per night it would be included, but that was on me for just assuming.
I thought the decor would be modern and unique, as per the website, however in person it was very gloomy and depressing.
Lastly the whole bathroom layout was very odd. Frosted glass through to the bedroom, and a multi room door that can either be positioned just as a toilet door (no sink) or as a bathroom door... not sure why you would need this. If you wanted a shower and someone needed the toilet the steam would just go through to the bedroom. The only reason would be the sink, but I have never been desperate to use the sink whilst someone was in the bathroom.

Good place but the bed and the stains let it down a little bit.
Pros:

Very elegant and modern

Cons:

Bed stains and what looked to be human dirt on the toilet door.
