The room was clean and comfortable but had an issue with the shower tray leaking onto the bathroom floor, leaving a puddle of water and a soaking wet floor towel. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was fantatsic with plenty of food and very nice bacon, sausages, scrambled egg, beans, tomatoes and hash browns along with cereal, toast, pasties, pancakes etc. I have, however, knocked off a star for the appalling lifts. One of the three was out of service and the two remaining (the lifts are also far too small) could not cope with the number of people at breakfast and check out time. We were on the 8th floor and every lift that stopped was already full. A woman waiting with us said she'd been there for 25 minutes! We ended up having to carry heavy bags all the way down the stairs tocheck out. Even then, reception is on the 1st floor and there's no way down to the exit on ground without using the lift!. It also wasn't helped by staff using the lifts with large trollies preventing guests from getting in. Surely there should be separate staff lifts?

Check in was a little slow. Hotel overall, and room, was spotlessly clean. Shower leaked from under the door, which we reported. Very little choice at hotel bar. Breakfast was passable. There were a lot of guests and items ran out quickly. Coffee was awful, possibly the worst tasted.

Stayed here few times visiting family. The lady at check in Miehela ( sorry if i spelt your name wrong) she was a trainee and she was very friendly, polite, smiling great customer service. This hotel is a 7 min walk from New Street, breakfast has variety of foods, room is comfortable. The only thing is maybe hooks on the bathroom door to hang towels etc..
