Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided me with a comfortable bed and a desk on which I could complete my reports, made up every day to a high standard. However, the rooms were not the cleanest and the air system was noisy and difficult to control temperature, causing some inconvenience. Traffic noise from cars was also a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was pleasant, comfortable, and clean, but it was freezing, and I had to stay in bed most of the time to keep warm since the window didn't shut properly, and I could smell smoke from the neighboring room. The location was convenient with easy car parking, but it felt cramped with limited facilities like toasters and tea/coffee makers causing delays. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff even under pressure, making my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was good with a nice breakfast selection, although the cutlery and glasses were not very clean. Overall, a decent stay with some minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was just what we needed after the excitement of the wedding and a long journey. The rooms were large, very comfortable, and clean, offering a lovely and warm atmosphere with a great choice of pillows. The hotel provided plenty of tea, coffee, and milk all day, making it feel like a home away from home. The service was excellent, with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was fantastic, close to the city center and within a leisure complex, offering convenient access to various attractions. The dining experience was good, with a decent variety of choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel had a standard room but was generally clean despite ongoing road works nearby. The hotel arranged a taxi that did not show up, resulting in a rush to catch a train at Foster Square. The service was excellent with helpful staff offering water and snacks; however, it was slightly disappointing, especially with children. The location was good, just a short walk to the town and close to shops and restaurants. The dining experience had good options but the breakfast was tasteless initially, though the staff helped move to a better room. Overall, the hotel provides great value for money.
The hotel is situated in a busy leisure area with convenient access to various restaurants and entertainment spots. The rooms are basic and clean, albeit a bit distant from the reception area. The service is friendly and accommodating, making for a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel offers comfortable and adequately equipped rooms with some issues like temperature control and odors. The friendly service stands out despite lapses in cleaning. The location is convenient for transportation and shopping, with slight card key problems. Dining options vary in quality, with room for improvement. The facilities are decent but could use enhancements.
