Not Recommended

Family room really unsuitable if you travel with teenagers. Despite the hotel has bedrooms with 2 doubles, we're given a sofa bed for children tall 6feet. Carpet full of stains and dirty. Service very poor and staff didn't seem that friendly either particularly as there was 1 staff and a long queue to check-in. Parking is another scam charged at £14 night, even though, we paid for the room. Visitors instead are charged £10 only. Breakfast minimal and basic.

The room smelled like unwashed linen and the hotel generally looked like wasn’t cleaned well enough. The heating system didn’t work which we weren’t told at the reception, and when we rang and asked the gave us a small portable heater.

Loved the seamless check in and check out process. The room was clean and neat. The breakfast was excellent in quality and variety. There were also take away options, convenient for travellers in between airports. Definitely recommend for a quick and comfortable stop when I'm between connections. Transportation available from the airport, only 4 pounds, making the visit convenient and easy.

We didnt like the menu in the restaurant. So we bought food from M& S. Room was nice but only problem was lights above the bed worked off 1 switch also the shower was blocked and over flowed. We feel a larger tv would be better. We will definitely stay again.

Good and bad

After arriving approximately 4 hours late due to train delays I was checked in by a polite young lady, the lifts were unreliable to get to my room and once I arrived in the room there was a strong odour of stale smoke. I called reception and they changed my room for another one, by this time it was around midnight and after an hour the room was chilly so I turned on the heating system, this was a big mistake for two reasons a) it was so noisy that it sounded like an engine running and was not effective at heating the room and b) because I couldn’t turn it off ! At around 3am I gave up and called reception to ask how could I turn it off, the receptionist told me how to. I then turned the heating system off and the only difference in the room was that it was no longer noisy. What would be very helpful would be an efficient heating system and also written instructions on how to use it i.e turn it off. To sum up: the reception staff were very polite and pleasant, same for breakfast staff. Room quality rather poor, heating system not heating the room and unusable even if it was heating up the room due to the noise, there was a very small portable fan heater I found hidden away on a low shelf as I was leaving which could also be a potential fire hazard. The breakfast was good with something for just about everyone, the coffee was terrible … Would I stay again ? Probably not due to lack of sleep caused by the noisy heating system and the fact that my room was too cold .
