Abi

Excellent location and smooth check in with helpful staff. Unfortunately my room was next to a pub and was v noisy however the staff found another quieter room quickly for me. Issues with the TV remote controls in both rooms and the air con didn’t work and the room was v warm. Breakfast was an additional charge of £20 which didn’t include a cooked breakfast so not really worth the money. Overall hotel is in an excellent location but needs some attention to detail to justify the cost.
