Lovely place to stay, would recommend
Pros:

Foundry 34 was very clean and very well decorated. My room, although small was more than adequate for myself and with a modern bathroom and good shower.
I had dinner in the onsite restaurant which was extremely good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The property didn’t have a private car park but was situated close to a public car park which required payment to be made at 8am. Although I later discovered this could be easily done via the app.
My room would have benefitted by having a small chair as there was nowhere to sit other than the bed.

Pros:

the room, just for one. it was clean, tidy with a good size bathroom, the shower was excellent both in size and performance. Parking outside at 5pm with a free disc allows one hour free but you have to remember to move or fix at 8am in the morning. i did not dine but colleagues did and they found the menu broad and not too expensive

Cons:

the many short staircases to the multi level bedrooms did tax the memory but were OK. Price for a single room was 'top end' of the range. car parking was a little difficult to sort so arriving early was beneficial.

Pros:

The room was clean , had air con during the heat wave which was welcomed. All the facilities you need close to shops / bars etc. Didn't eat in the restaurant but it looked busy so probably nice food. The ease of check and self check out using the rear door when the restaurant was closed. Would stay again.

Cons:

The noise from the youngsters in the street below as there is a night club around the corner
