I arrived to find an event taking place, which I wasn’t made aware of at the time of booking. This event was very noisy and restricted access to a large part of the hotel. My bed linen had stains on it and the water pressure in the shower couldn’t even get the soap off.

Convenient location and easy to get to. Staff were all friendly. Nice spacious room with good size desk to work on. Nice to have a bath and to have constant hot water.
Shame some of the lights in the room were not working.
