Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Generally the stay is good experience. I spent 6 days there. During my stay，there is heatwave warning ， the hotel prepared a fan in the room which is so considerate. The only thing is the sound insulation between rooms is not so good. there is a night （around 2am ) I heard clearly what is talking in next room😔

Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

For a over night stop was good

Hotel is in a good location for shopping centre and bars/restaurants and has a lot of parking spaces and very friendly staff, The bar and restaurant at the hotel was closed until about 8 as they had a function on so went into the town but this was only a short walk away you could use a bar adjourned to the hotel but was a little off putting when you walked in and got stared at (this was a gaming type bar), our room was located on the 3rd floor and was extremely hot they supplied a fan but this only helped a little bit had to have windows open and noise below was very loud until about 2am. There is a bar/club (Harry’s bar) directly underneath the hotel

Great hotel ! Highly recommend

Was a lovely welcome , lovely team that catered to us especially as I had a Sen child with me , and I would 100% come back there was a lady in evening shift that was super lovely ..(can’t remember her name ) but thank you ☺️
Emma, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

noisy!

Despite the listing saying the room was soundproofed it was not. There was traffic noise from a busy road and I could hear the tv and conversations in the next room, also their snoring all night. Plumbing also noisy. Staff were very nice but it doesn't make up for a room too noisy to sleep in
