No water provided and small tumblers. Sounds trivial but a nice glass of cold water is most welcome after a lot of driving. Every other hotel provides this.

The Hotel - comfortable, friendly well located.
The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. The heating was not easy to control but the room was comfortable was was the dining room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection was extensive, well cooked and varied. The bar area was rather "corporate" and could be less formal. It should be clearer that there are expensive charges for car parking, increasing the cost of the stay by over £22-. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the city's attractions.

Would not stay again
The hotel was lovely. It had a car park which is charageable but thats normal. Checked in service was great. The lift was out of order we were on second floor so had a lot of steps to go up. They fid offer to take our bags. I have bad knees so the steps didnt help. We were in a room the furthest point away it felt. The room was nice and clean. We went out for food and came back to bed after a long day on rd. The pillows were awful your head sunk to mattress the room was freezing and the theromostate did not work i did not sleep. Next morning our coridor was freezing but when u walking into another area it was boiling. Breakfast was not the best great service but the fruit tasted sour the mushrooms were very plasticy. The food was not being replenished so no beans or potatos. I was not impressed. We were very tired for our day working and driving

Carpark view
Enjoyed our stay my only criticism would be we were not in the main hotel and had a view of the car park. We had to cross over the carpark for breakfast so if it was raining could really spoil your breakfast vibe. The room also had very poor lighting so was very hard to read at night and in the day.

The main trouble we had was when it came to eating. I had a meal in the restaurant and for chicken skewers and chips. The chicken came out without any chips and then when they did come out I had finished my chicken 5 minutes before the chips had been severed to me. We had to explain to the bar staff and one show them what we wanted to drink. I think this was due to them being young and english not their first language of speech

Wont be booking here again
The stay started ok and the room was nice. I had had a long day travelling and working. I ordered some food from the bar, an hour later my food still hadn't arrived. I went to reception to complain as I couldn't find anyone else. She called the catering manager to come and see me. After 10 minutes he came out the receptionist told him the problem. He looked at me as if to say how dare you complain and walked off without saying anything to me. I told him not to walk away from me and he glared and continued to walk. I went packed my bags got a refund and left to find a much nicer hotel with helpful people.
