acceptable stay, but some issues

central location great staff good breakfast poor signage restaurant coordination dark entrance

The location was quite central. it was near where i wanted to be. the staff was great in both reception and restaurant bistro pierre. i appreciated the breakfast each day. It was quite good.

on arrival it was difficult to find an entrance from the car park! there needs to be better signage and a proper door. it was also very dark.

Wonderful stay!

helpful staff central location delicious breakfast efficient service

I found helpful staff. The location is very close to the centre, theater, fine dining, and shops. Breakfast was really delicious, with lots of choices. They provide efficient service in a pleasant environment. Parking cost eight pounds for twenty-four hours, simple to pay.

My room and the corridors needed decorating and looked very tired.
