The Parkgate Hotel
"A beautiful hotel in a great central location. Room was well appointed but I was given an accessible bathroom which I hadn’t asked for and slightly undermined the experience. It’s also a shame they use of the sauna is an additional cost, with no discount for guests."

The Coal Exchange Hotel
"A very old hotel showing signs of age. Room was dark and bathroom very much older. Night staff very nice, daytime front desk not that helpful. Needs a lot of love and care"
