From the moment we arrived, the staff were very friendly, helpful, and informative. Our hotel room was easy to find—clean, tidy, and simply a pleasure to stay in. Breakfast was great: self-service with plenty of food and a wide variety of choices. Overall, our visit was excellent. We arrived with a smile and left smiling too.

The staff is lovely but the room . Shower room and worst of all the restaurant were in an unacceptable level of grubby!!! Dusty everywhere and glass ware dirty and toasters dirty and the trolley was impossible dirty of months of being clean or even wiped. On top the hotel is very tired un painted walls, ripped carpets…

Apart from the car parking being underground, distant, and safe access to it meant carrying luggage through a busy shopping mall, the hotel itself was very pleasant. Clean and comfortable, with an excellent buffet-style breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had chosen to stay there as it was dog friendly.
