Great two night stay

Hotel was perfect for what we needed. Clean, comfortable and close to Harry Potter Studios. Free minibar in premier room. Spacious room (104) with large bathroom away from main bedroom area. Food was a little pricey but expected at hotels and was delicious. Good breakfast.

Good stay - hotel was clean, modern and tidy. The bar was well serviced, breakfast was good quality however it was rather busy and took a while to get service but this wasn’t down to staff not working - probably because we were at peak time. Would stay again

Disliked: Staff & service
Turned up an hour early and was unable to check in. Was told to wait in the bar area and would be notified when my room became available. Staff didn’t bother and I went up 14:00 on the dot to check in. Then stuck me with the trainee. 3 customers after me checked in before me with the experienced staff member. All internal phones were down during my staff meaning I couldn’t order room service. Had to call using mobile to reception and the re-routed to room service.
