Pros:

The location was fine and breakfast was okay

Cons:

The size of the room was terrible and needed updating. For £160 per night it was way overpriced. The view from the window was atrocious. Very disappointed overall compared to other hotels that I have stayed in at less the price. Room 8.

Stayed for work and was ideal location with great facilities for what I needed. On the night of arrival I wanted to use
Pros:

Location was great. Great facilities and super clean.

Cons:

No bedside sockets in my room (12). Room was back corner of the building above the kitchen so noisy (when kitchen in use) and no view (looking onto fake garden netting).

Pros:

The decor in the room and the communal area was nice and modern. Good location in the town. Breakfast was ok but continental only - it would have been useful to know this when we booked. The bathroom was good and was clean.

Cons:

The room was very small and uncomfortably hot despite the fact that it was a cool day. I mentioned the excessive heat in the room and a member of staff said she would try to get an additional fan but one never arrived. The corridors and communal areas were nice and cool. The bar closed at 10pm which we were not advised of when we checked in. At 10.15 we couldn't get a drink even though there was a night porter. There was no chair in the room so we had to sit on the bed. There was a stool at the mirror but when you sat down you couldn't see the mirror. I thought the price was very high for a Sunday night.
