"On the plus, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and well maintained and nicely furnished. The double bedroom with sofa bed I booked turned out to be a 2 double bedroom suite with a lounge with double sofa bed which was a wonderful surprise for myself and my 2 children and superb value. All the rooms had tvs and the bedrooms both had good tea / coffee facilities. The breakfast was also excellent - self service buffet with croissants, juice, cereals and good choice of hot freshly cooked breakfast.
On the negative, as stated on website, the rooms are not air conditioned. We stayed during the heatwave. It was very hot. The receptionist was very helpful and gave me a powerful fan so I managed to get a good nights sleep. Our suite was in the main block next to the road. The hotel itself was very quiet. My bedroom was at the back overlooking the car park and reasonably quiet, the fan blocked out any noise. However, my children slept in the front bedroom & lounge/sofa bed next to the road. It was incredibly noisy all night. Tiredness and ear plugs helped. There is another accommodation block behind the car park so request that for a quieter stay. We were visiting the university so all the hotels were fully booked.
Overall, for the spacious suite, cleanliness, helpful staff and breakfast, we thought this hotel should be 4 star not 3 star. But ask for a room away from the road otherwise it’s very noisy."
