The room was clean and the bathroom is up dated. Typical room size with good sunlight. The room is for 2 person but has only one sitting chair. The shower has a glass panel but no door. Water often spill onto the floor. For sfety, guest must put a towel in front of the shower opening to avoid a wet tile floor.

This hotel was reasonably priced so my expectations were not high. This hotel has over 1000 rooms and is the hotel where a bus load or 2 drop off 100 people at one go. There is nothing wrong with that but it was full of children on school trips. It can get very noisy. I booked a 2 nights stay. The room given to us was a family room 1 double and 1 single. The room was tatty. The bathroom door would not shut as the door was too big! The beds were comfortable and the pillows were nice. The bed linen was good too. Unfortunately, a very disturbing mouldy smell was lurking in the corner by the double bed. It was bad. I decided to ask if it was possible for us to be moved to another room for our second night. It was that bad. The lady who helped us could not be nicer. In fact, all the staff at this hotel were so pleasant and nice. Anyway, we were moved to a double room to their slightly posher bit called City Sleeper. The room was a bit smaller but much smarter and very clean. She also gave us a free breakfast. The way she handled my complaint was very professional and on the nicest manner. Would I stay here again? Probably not. It is too big and hundreds of school children is annoying! Just a suggestion, in case the hotel does read this. Put somewhere to sit in the foyer. Not a chair in sight! ( But the porter did go fetch 2 chairs for us to sit while we waited, which was very nice) I just think there should be chairs already there.

The hotel was nice. It's older so there are updates that could be made. Unfortunately for us, we came during the heat wave so 90 degree weather with no air conditioning was hard. But we were there for only two days so we made due. The staff was so nice and helptful!

Clean, quite spacious room for 3 people. Another chair- only one - would have been useful. Had an issue with sockets/ tv tripping a couple of times but dealt with quickly when reported. Lovely breakfasts. Staff very helpful. The room would have benefited from double or secondary glazing as being on a main road it was noisy. The complimentary ear plugs unfortunately were unsuitable as the design was painful in the ears. We did manage to sleep and enjoyed our stay.
