Clearly sees a lot of turnover. Towels were slightly stained. Bed could have been better quality, especially at that price. Shower in bath also not expected at that price.

Checkin process very smooth, room good size and breakfast was great
We stayed in a first floor room, during the night there were a few episodes of loud noise (we weren't near the lifts) - not sure if it was the air con, but something kept kicking in that made quite a loud electric humming/bussing noise, for a few minutes and then stopping.

Easy check in and out
Not many people in the hotel on the night we stayed, breakfast menu a little bit limited, full english breakfast felt it had been prepared in advance and kept under heated lights rather than freshly made

Amazing location and amenities in the main hotel! The staff were also lovely!
We felt the cost of the room was incredible expensive at £186 for what it was, it didn’t reflect the pictures online and room felt quite worn - shower leaked and the grouting in the bathroom was coming apart.

Love this hotel, this is my second stay here! Love the location, decor and the beds are very comfortable.
The gentleman checking us in Saturday afternoon at 4pm had a cba attitude, not offensive but also not very welcoming! Also we had a room that was above some bins and constantly from 5am -830 ish all i could hear was noise to and from the bins.
