Central Hotel Stay

central location friendly staff
The hotel has a very central location near shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly, and the general areas are clean. I especially liked the room heating. It was easy to adjust. Breakfast had good variety, including cooked options.
I noticed that the receptionist did not seem aware of the festivities schedule? I had to ask for clarification about event timings. This caused minor confusion.

problematic stay

patchy wifi draining shower tray
i was annoyed by a couple of things. the wifi was basically useless. i had to sign in over and over, and my husband couldn't get it to work at all. it wasn't much better than a travelodge.

a few issues

dried blood stains broken door lock
the room was not ideal. i found what seemed like old stains on the bedding when i went to sleep. i contacted reception, they changed my room. in the second room, the internal door lock was broken, a real letdown. i felt the hotel looked uncared for.

i found the location amazing, very central. The staff at the bar was friendly, and the food reached a very high standard. My room was clean and i slept good in it.
my room was smelly and dated, and not really fit for a comfortable stay. I didn't like the £15 parking charge. The double room i booked felt very cramped.
