Accommodation very expensive I thought the staff were friendly and helpful Noise from station and trains to one side of hotel. Area somewhat run-down so not ideal location The tyranny of Parking Eye follows like a bad dream. What an exploitative company! They should be closed down for harassment.

The best service I have had at any hotel decently at breakfast and dinner. Staff were always on hand to help and nothing seemed too much to ask for. A few items were off the menu but the menu was big enough to have another choice and the staff were at hand to help.

Defo won’t be back again

To arrive on the hottest day of 31 degrees and to arrive to our room with no air conditioning was a massive disappointment. Granted we was given a fan but it was the most nosiest fan so bad that my son who struggles with noise was unable to sleep with it in. And with it off it was extremely hot. Not what you expect when you pay £200 to stay for one night !!!!
