Slightly disappointed about this hotel. Their website promised parking, but the parking was only for a handful of cars, apparently it's on a first come first served basis! Plus it costs £10. Only one lift was operational & staffs weren't friendly! Also, the hotels location isn't great either. There were strange characters loitering around the area! I'll definitely NOT recommend it.

Excellent service, nothing too much to ask for, clean hotel, comfy beds, well looked after. I didnt use the breakfast. Staff are amazing, helpful and genuinly happy to see thier guests and help them. Location is brilliant and close to the centre.

Bed bugs. I have multiple bed bug bites on my right leg, right arm and lower back. My pharmacist said they are consistent with the line of bites (breakfast, lunch and dinner) that bed bugs tend to make. It’s a shame as the hotel was good value for money and breakfast was good. Unfortunately the level of service offered when I reported the bed bug bites was appalling.
