Cancelled show but came anyway
Check-in was really easy found the room no problem. The room was neat and tidy there was a few stains one on the chair,a few on the wall beside the bed l. On in the bathroom sink area which makes it look like it hasn't been cleaned. The hairdryer didn't work asked at reception if we could get a replacement but that didn't happen. Breakfast was ok standard buffet style.

Poor for a modern hotel - sort yourself out IHG
For a modern hotel rather poor All we could hear all night was water running down the stack… makes you want the loo In the room shower tray broken and full of hair so wouldn’t drain, toilet seat wouldn’t stay up Organisationally inept with complete mismanagement of breakfast - employee some staff, stick some signs up, resign the layout urgently and bin the wonky tables Whoever was responsible for designing it should be sacked

It’s in a Central location with dinning options and shopping in close proximity. The staff was wonderful and breakfast was very well done. Be aware that if you’re driving, the car park / Bus station a block away and charges per day for parking spots. (Which is fine, just an FYI)
