The breakfast is very good, staff are great and I always have a good stay here, the building (some rooms) could do with a little TLC had to move twice as there was an water issue (which was readily sorted), but this hotel is always clean comfortable and convenient. Quick check in & out … great !

Room immaculate, staff very friendly, breakfast was really good and exceeded my expectations.
Room was quite hot and on opening window it smelt of the cooking from the hotel and next door restaurant - bed a little small and mattress well past its best but the staff and cleanliness made up for that
