"Very friendly, attentive staff. The garden view suite was very large, beautifully decorated and furnished, however it had not been thoroughly dusted or vacuumed. We had to advise the front desk of a couple of maintenance matters in our bathroom and that we needed the heating turned on and these were promptly attended to. We were surprised that the hotel"

"The reception staff were very friendly and helpful as was the spa personnel. The room was clean and comfortable. The sheets were a little stiff and not the most comfortable. We used the thermal suite for one hour and it needed some TLC. Tiles were falling off in the steam room seats making the seats a little gritty. All in all I would recommend this accommodation."

"We had a family night away here Great central hotel on the main street, We went to the sister hotel on the sunday and used the leisure facilities which were great. We had food in the bar which was lovely and great service Only thing I would say is there were groups of people coming back at 2am,3am,4am and they were congregated in the hallways and very loud. There was no one walking the floors to reduce the noise which I think in a city hotel is always useful when there are groups of people, so sleep quality wasn't good and made for a long night"
