"Staff were wonderfully welcome a d even gave us a welcome drink! Lovely clean, modern rooms. The cafe bit was unmanned in the morning despite being open, so a shame we couldn't grab a coffee from the hotel to take away on our drive. Would stay again and a very convenient city centre location (especially for the trains)."

"Overall great hotel location, lovely downstairs area, clean and spacious room. Areas are a little bit worn and could do with some fixing up or TLC. The young lady at front desk wasn't super warm but checked me in mega fast (I don't really like conversation but a friendly hello wouldn't have gone a miss). Overall would stay again, had a great sleep! And lots of parking!"
