Good Morning Many thanks for the mail, I can confirm that the check in was pleasant, however there was fitness class going underneath me And the biggest complaint the shower was broken and if your paying £149 for a room you expect to be able to wash yourself especially as we are not a third world country and we are in 2024,the bath was a half bath and my 8 yr old would not fit in it never mind an adult. On checking out the receptionist did not ask if my stay was enjoyable or if everything was OK, I therefore prompted and told her about the issue to she replied OK thank you. That was it, no apology,nothing. My room was 234.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent parking facility and efficient check-in/check-out service. Generally nice and quiet environment but sound-proof from adjacent hotel rooms still have rooms for improvement.
