friendly staff quiet room superb breakfast central location
The staff were cute and friendly. the room was quiet, a peaceful escape despite being in the town center. i appreciated the superb breakfast. The dining room offered ample space for everyone. the hotel's central location made it easy to access many amenities and attractions.
the entrance looked a bit shabby with bins near the doors, it made me unsure if i was entering the hotel or the bar.

old flooring broken safe
I found a few things a little disappointing . the safe in the room wasn't working. It was just sitting on the floor inside the old wardrobe. the room lacked any real design, it felt very basic. also, the wooden flooring was quite old, and it made a lot of noise whenever i walked around, both in my room and the room above. it made it hard to sleep in peace.

Wonderful stay!
clean room comfortable bed helpful staff
The receptionist was very helpful, they provided all necessary information about my room and breakfast. The room was impressively clean, and the bed, complete with fantastic bed linen, was comfortable. I appreciated the £5 drinks voucher for the bar and the 20% discount at the Slug and Lettuce next door.
The parking arrangement was not ideal. The recommended car park had tiny spaces, i found it inconvenient (but it was a minor issue).

Fantastic Stay Downtown
clean room helpful staff convenient location comfortable accommodation
The location suited me perfectly as I attended a concert at the stadium. It was conveniently only a short walk from both the venue and the train station. My room was very super clean and cozy. I also found the staff to be friendly and helpful. It was good value stay and I certainly would use this hotel again.
The floor in my room was sticky, so I found it difficult to walk without shoes. This was not ideal. It was a slight inconvenience.
