Perfect little stay.
The check in process was super easy, the staff were lovely and even brought me a really nice pillow later on in the evening. The breakfast was well laid out and checkout was very straight forward. We've changed our hotel reservation for next month to this hotel because of how good it was.

Left the hotel hungry.
The queue far breakfast was ridiculous. I could not get near the hot food buffet. As a result left the hotel without having the breakfast I had paid for. According to a member of staff, there were 500 people expected.

Basic but great location.
Accessing the hotel you have to catch a lift to the first floor. The lift is slow and you wait in a dull cold lobby area which feels very uninviting and institutional. Once you finally get to reception the staff are efficient and helpful. Once again we had to take a lift one of the upper floors to access our room. A long wait. The room was modern, basic and clean. The bed was moderately comfortable and the pillows a bit pathetic. The shower room looked lovely and clean with a. Big shower. Water pressure was very poor however and the shower was fitted with a water saving device which made it hard to use. We had to run around in the shower to get wet. Complimentary breakfast was plentiful and hot. Not a huge choice and very little for a continental breakfast. Buffet style with plenty of staff keeping it refreshed. There was a bar in the evenings but we didn’t use this and the coffee machine seemed accessible 24hours. There were 3 lifts. 1 out of order and staff used them to transport bed linen during busy times. Surely they should have a service lift. The area was quiet and close to the city centre and transport links. We have stayed here before and probably would again as it was good value.
