"Overall a reasonable 4 night stay for business. Allocated room was small but clean, comfortable and well equipped although lacked a comfortable chair. Breakfast was ok and plentiful, restaurant is very popular in the evening so need to book well in advance. Staff were very helpful. This was a business trip so view wasn't important (room looked over parking area to rear of the hotel) but the building work being undertaken on an adjoining property was noisy and started early. I would stay again if I could be assured of a room either at the front or the other end of the hotel."
