Great Concept. Poorly Delivered
Easy polite check in. Close to station and parking. Website gives the impression of a fun place to be but most of the staff need to be told this. Great breakfast selection but the cooked breakfast was cold. House keeping kept knocking on door despite us being well within check out time and the Do Not Disturb sign. Could do with an extract fan in the bathroom.

Good not great
Bar very expensive and seemed to charge a different amount for same drinks each time. Bedding was quite basic and pillows were like bricks. Some of the games facilities were a bit tired and in need of some maintenance.

Average at best
Average hotel. The window didn’t close properly in my room so it was quite noisy in the room from outside traffic. If it was winter it would have been freezing!

Not great
Lots of street noise, so avoid a 1st floor room. Curtains didn't fit so street lights bled in and rubbish pillows ...
