"Was able to check in early which was a bonus. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful. Reception area spacious , clean and tidy. A lot of staff on hand to help. Location slightly abit too far from the centre if walking in and out frequently. 15 mins from Centre. 22 min from station ( however bus stop outside hotel which helps) We had a room on the 4th floor which was adequate in size, and noise from other rooms and corridor minimal. Drinks prices from hotel bar very reasonable."
