Wonderful quality and good value for money
Fantastic four night stay in a family room. We very much enjoyed the buffet breakfast, although the coffee was not great. Otherwise, our stay was impeccable. All we were missing was a spa!

Sunday Stay
Advertised as city view but only view of half due to the massive building across, I guess can’t be helped. Breakfast loads of options but the hot food was lukewarm and went cold fast after plated, Still tasty though. Quick service to get checked in and out, easy to get to the city centre and the car park but we did come on a Sunday which is a quieter time. Special requests was done for us when requested! Expected a bath with shower but only got a shower, but you could probably request this and they would do it.
