Very well treated on arrival - one of us was recovering from surgery and not feeling great - we were treated with kindness and given a better room. The downside was the restaurant - slow service for dinner early in the evening and very poor quality hot food on the buffet at breakfast. Having said that we'll probably stay there again as the hotel is handy for city centre venues and usually has parking available.

The hotel on the whole is ok, the public areas are nice and the service is good but this hotel is let down with the dated rooms. The rooms have poor fixtures and fittings, and the room I had was unsuitable for the modern traveller (two plug sockets).

Pros - Very conveniently located for shopping and dining. The hotel was clean, staff very helpful and polite. Room comfortable, very comfortable bed, clean with view overlooking main road. Breakfast was outstanding. Cons - The area is a bit grotty as are the streets going into city centre. Pay to park £15 per night. Why am I paying to park in the grounds of the hotel I’m staying at. There is traffic noise, but we stayed on a Monday so it wasn’t too bad. Very lumpy pillows,
