Everything was great except the automatic closing doors in the bedroom. Just let us shut the doors ourselves rather than waiting for them to close automatically.

Liked: Staff & service

I stayed for 2 nights and all of the staff I met were very pleasant and helpful but the hotel seemed in need of a bit of an upgrade. Location was great. I arrived at the airport and took the tram to 100 meters from the hotel. There was a tram every 6/7 mins so very easy to get into the city centre.

We booked a family room for two adults and 2 teenage children. The family room only had a double bed a a single bed so one of us had to sleep on the floor. With the room costing over £180 for 1 night i though you would at least get 2 double beds like you do in the Premier Inn.
