Global IT outage meant no services available. Staff did what they could to help us overnight. Shortage of crockery in room and no hair-dryer. Otherwise comfortable.

Glenn

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We stayed foe a two week period. The room was comfy if not spacious and clean. Access to the Hotel and the very helpful staff was fine. Improvements they could make; 1. No drawers or cupboards to unpack (living out of bags for two weeks isnt fun) 2. The internet was terrible and there is no excuse for that in 2023

Friendly check in manager. Clean room. Good offer with drink discount and 20% off food which was good value. Only negative is it’s somewhat noisy with a fair bit of traffic noise. Was a Friday night do that probably didn’t help. Would stay again and just bring ear plugs.
