Birthday stay
The staff on reception were good. But the room safe didn't work because it was locked open and the shower door needs sealing round the door. And the kettle needs a longer lead so it can reach the socket so you don't have to put it on the floor. But would stay here again

Good location, easy check-in. I liked the addition of the honesty counter with drinks and snacks available in reception for late arrivers. The room itself was very tired, uncomfortable and bleak. Needs to be modernised to remove the old telephony and intercom infrastructure of the past and maybe provide power sockets and charging points by the bed.

Over the years we’ve stayed here a lot. It’s in a good location with convenient parking at a good price. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the rooms are always clean. The only minor negatives were the 4th floor corridor smelt quite musty and damp, the walls are quite thin and you can hear conversations next door and unfortunately the hotel was too busy to offer an extended late checkout but this wasn’t the end of the world.
