"The staff are all friendly and helpful with all our needs. Vanessa at reception on arrival at the hotel was very so helpful and friendly and made time to give as all the information we need went above and beyond to sort out extra towels etc. Will go back on next visit if staying in Swindon. Thank you all again for making our stay a great one. Also thank you to Sam the lady at the gym next door for making time for us . Only thing I would have liked to see was a few more things for vegan or vegetarian but otherwise a good section for breakfast. A++++"
