Noisy of you have the wrong room!

Ask for a room at the back of the hotel. The traffic noise was horrendous. Air conditioning is lousy and you have to have the windows open if it’s very hot. It’s like sleeping in the central reservation.

The hotel is located very close to the town centre & an easy walk from/to the train station. Our room was okay, but the water for the shower didn't get very warm. Our sink drained very slowly too and the toilet was difficult to flush. The gym was outstanding - by far the best I have used in a hotel. We didn't have breakfast as the price was crazy expensive and there are plenty of food shops & cafes in the vicinity of the hotel. The staff were very pleasant. The only issue I thought was a little off. In Hotels.com description it implies that tea & coffee is available in reception, which it is, but at hotel charges. I understood from the description this was offered to hotel guests as a complimentary service. I suppose I was a little naive.

Nice solo stay

Nice location, would be nicer if they advised you which car park is their concession car park before you get there. Lots of takeaways nearby, and shopping centre next door. Room was clean, and plenty of pub games in the foyer to play.
