The hotel was in a good location next to the station and just outside of town. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly and helpful. We were put in the wrong room initially which was an administrative oversight by either Expedia or the hotel. The only pain was the hotel was locked at 8 pm and you have to use the ring doorbell, we were outside for some time and I had to ring the hotel to get someone to open the door. They could give a front door key on your fob

The hotel was ok and the staff were good. The hotel attitude to VIP access was strange. The room was upgraded but for some reason the advertised bottle of wine was a small 1/4 187.5ml bottle. I was this was really cheap,

B

The bedroom was really nice, spacious and comfortable. We stayed in a Premier double. Breakfast service was sometimes a little chaotic; we didn't mind this in view of the training aspect of the hotel but it might put some people off. I think you need to buy in to the ethos of the hotel. Location excellent, right opposite the station.
