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).
