We had the most amazing time away, the hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff were great and managed to get us in 2 hours earlier than our check in time. We would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Nice Stay
The location is central and within walking distance to many destinations. The rooms are comfortable.
Moreover, the electric car charging stations on the premises were very useful."

Fab location
Excellent staff. Very comfortable. Good choice for breakfast. Very clean. Very good location for the centre. Although quite busy no trouble parking - reasonable rate too. Only issue we had was we had no hot water. They had a burst hot water pipe on our first morning, although I appreciate nothing could be done whilst repairs going on we received no notification or updates about this
