Great location, friendly staff, let down by facilities.
Pros:

The staff were amongst some of the friendliest I’ve ever seen. Fantastic service!

Cons:

Unfortunately the rooms were too warm & the fans had no way of cooling down satisfactorily. Also the cleaning hadn’t done the rooms justice. Finally plug points were not always accessible by bedside.

Always the best value in town
Pros:

I have to give the staff a special mention. They're always so cheery and welcoming, as well as being efficient. Honestly, so few hotels actually make you feel like a "guest" but Redwings does. It's a little thing but lovely to get a warm greeting after a long journey.

Also, the room I stayed in yesterday seemed to have been redecorated recently. Some of the rooms are older than others but this had a very fancy new shower (which I enjoyed) and an excellent bed.

Not good enough
Pros:

Location, clean and friendly staff

Cons:

No lifts for a baby in stroller to carry up to 4th flour, room was too warm as there is literally no proper air circulation on fourth floor, there should have been an AC in the room, no fridge? All the baby food went off. We had to buy new in the morning because there was no fridge.
