The hotel was great near all attractions. The issue I had was I needed to cancel a room but couldn’t do it through Expedia. They advised to contact the hotel directly, but as I’d booked and paid through Expedia I couldn’t cancel it direct. So ended up paying for a room and a breakfast that I didn’t use.

The guy at front desk during day wasn’t very friendly. The gentleman at night was lovely. Getting to the property was difficult with senior citizens and again the front desk man was not friendly.

It was the best stay during my UK trip so far. The location being central to all the activities I wanted to do, their breakfast being superb, the kindness during any request I made and the cleanliness of the room. It was perfection the whole time. I’m so pleased.

Pros: -Location is amazing. Within walking distance of a lot of great things. -Cheap Cons: -Floors are a bit dirty. No fan in bathroom means all smells linger. -Could not do early check in. When I went to my room there was the strong smell of poop, meaning it wasn't cleaned well or someone just pooped in the bathroom. -Staff varied. Some staff was helpful and friendly, other staff was weirdly rude. -Cheap feeling. Had the delux room and was near identical to my friends regular room save for the better wifi. Overall - a cheap option in a great location, but it does feel cheap and hospitality is hit or miss.
