"I stayed here on business in January. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The communal areas, foyer etc. were all clean and of a good, modern standard. The room however was poor. Wallpaper was peeling off, the bedside table was hanging off the wall on one side so couldn't be used and the bathroom was good enough but old and tired. Also the one morning I got up to use the gym and pool, the attendant hadn't turned up and there was a queue of people going up the stairs waiting for it to open. After 10 minutes I gave up. Let me finish with a positive as the restaurant was excellent, especially for breakfast, service was a little slow on the Sunday evening, but in the morning everything was quick and efficient with a great variety and a really good coffee machine. I also liked that there was a selection of fruit, sandwiches, drinks etc., that could be purchased to any time of day to take with you.\nAll-in-all, I'd be wanting a better room if I was to stay again and I wouldn't choose this hotel over another on the basis of the gym/pool."

"Spacious rooms with complimentary mini bar. The rooms are rather tired and in need of refurbishment, especially the noisy air con. On the plus side, the rooms were very clean and breakfast was great. Staff very nice, especially Molly on reception. The one major blip was that we requested the mini bar was topped up after breakfast with cokes/water and this did not happen. Overall good experience, however it was a business booking....I wouldn't book it for a city break as it is clearly geared towards the business traveller."

"I only stayed for one night, but I thought it was a very nice hotel. There were plenty of places for food and drink in the surrounding area but fortunately I felt this hotel was a bit out of the way meaning that it wasn't too noisy throughout the night. The room I stayed in was an executive king which was very spacious with a comfortable bed. I do think the look of the hotel can be seen as slightly dated, but this wasn't an issue for me. I had breakfast at the hotel. The wide selection available was very appealing, but unfortunately I wasn't very hungry so I couldn't try as much as I would have liked. The staff were very friendly, and I interacted with some of the other guests staying at the hotel who were also very friendly. Overall it was a very good stay and I would be happy to return if I find myself in the area."
