Steep steps into the hotel and then more steps down to get to lifts (not great with a lot of luggage). Rooms a bit tired and breakfastt was fine but would say a premier inn breakfast had more options. Great location just far too expensive for what it is. ##### Jai Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value Loved the service team and the location.
