I'll definitely come again. Thanx for your friendliness!
Pros:

Close to the hospital and shops. I could park close to entrance, room on ground floor 10/10, staff helpful, walking distance to hospital about 5 minutes.
Roof fan did not work. Basin in bathroom: the plug is not good, water running out while basin is in use. Overall my sleepover was good.

Cons:

Basin in bathroom, roof fan didn't work.
That there is no service to help old people to offload there baggage.
There is no help to carry my luggage to my room. I'm an old lady and was alone. My husband in hospital.

Pros:

No satellite TV. The restaurant was not open for lunch and closed early for dinner. The restaurant was also closed on Sunday. The reception staff was not present. I had to ring a bell to get office staff to get hold of the reception staff to help me to book out.
In the evening, before I booked out, I had a drink in the restaurant (that was open). The service was not great. I had to get up and call the waiter from the kitchen counter to get service.
A male who was (what I was told by the female staff afterwards) known to cause problems before was allowed into the restaurant, and after my interaction with him, I had to ask to be moved to a new room because this person had my room number. I felt unsave.
I will never stay here ever again.
