The man at reception upon my arrival was surley, did not get into my room till 3pm, check in is 2m, I was early at 1pm, so ok, I will have a beer and lunch while wait. But they say thay have Speights beer on tap on the website, but they dont, plus the prices for food are well out of date. Not very good. Rest of stay was good, but I ate and drank elsewhere.

This hotel is right in the city centre and close to all the shops. The room was not large but storage space under the bed means all luggage can be stowed there. Tiny bathroom but very good shower. Would definitely stay here again.
