Really good Stay with Friendly Staff
warm welcome efficient team excellent cleanliness on-site parking
the welcome was warm and inviting. The team is very efficient. I found the cleanliness excellent, extending from the entrance to the rooms themselves. On-site parking proved a significant benefit, a feature many hotels lack.
The walk to the city center was a bit longer than expected, (though manageable).

average stay
small room uninspiring view
the staff were helpful, i suppose. they gave directions to a nearby caffe nero.
the room i booked wasn't available, so i got stuck with a smaller one, a bit of a letdown. the fire escape was basically the view, so that was pretty uninspiring.

Excellent Stay, Great Breakfast
friendly staff really good breakfast clean room convenient bathroom
The staff was friendly. The breakfast choices included many options. The location is near the M1. I walked to numerous cafes on Botanic easily. The breakfast options were really good. I would stay here again. The room was super clean. I found the staff very friendly. Breakfast offered a delicious and great selection. They provided chocolates and a balloon for my husband's birthday. The room was clean. Shauna provided helpful information about transport during check-in. The included breakfast was excellent. I had full continental items. The menu service was prompt. They accommodated us before their opening hour. The bedroom featured a comfortable bed. The bathroom door was conveniently near the bed. It was very clean. I had gluten-free food during breakfast. This does not always happen in other hotels.
The room was quite small.
