Pleasantly warm. Walls paper thin. Lights not working properly. Room not made up properly during stay. Faulty fire alarm system meant we were evacuated at 5:45am into the freezing cold weather with no apology etc. from staff. When I checked out I wasn't asked how my stay went. Signs up celebrating hotel's 60 year birthday and maybe needs to retire soon.

Dated and not soundproofed, but clean and comfortable, with friendly staff. Not ideal for a business trip, as “desk” area waa only equipped with a stool rather than a chair. Had a virtual meeting with laptop on top of shoebox, on top of coffee table, so i could sit in one of the lounge chairs. Abysmal internet. Water pressure good!

The hotel was fantastic & a quick walk to the shopping area. The only downside was the meal at Level 1 Restaurant. Had a roast beef meal that was very average. The vegetables were outstading & a great sized portion. Unfortunately the beef was so dry & tough.
