The room was comfortable but there were a few stray hairs in the bathroom so that could have been cleaner and it didn’t seem like the carpet had been hoovered as it felt ‘bitty’ underfoot. The hot breakfast was nice but there weren’t many fruit or pastry options. The staff were friendly.

Stayed Feb 2026 - room 215. The hotel was in a perfect location for my upcoming meeting and the surrounding area was very quiet with no road noise, which made for a good night’s rest. Unfortunately, the restaurant experience was disappointing. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for our food, only for the order to arrive incorrectly. A further 20 minutes was needed for the replacement, which meant we did not start eating until after 9pm – far too late for an evening meal. I appreciate the hotel was fully booked; however, the service appeared disorganised, with only one person serving at the bar. The hotel would benefit from additional kitchen and front-of-house staff to help manage orders and improve service times.
