Television didn't work properly, unable to access on network due to lack of identity, you could try each on the 300 long list if u have time. Beds need updating/ screws tighter based on noise from rooms above and next to me. I won't be back to pentahotel.

Extremely useful for town centre. Rooms functional. Shower fabulous. Plenty of room for toiletries. Breakfast stops at 10am even on weekend. TV didn't seem to have normal channels. Hotel not within the nicest part of town.
