We found the hotel to be on the doorstep of the local transport bus and tram. there was a shopping centre with resterants and shops. The hotel was not the best as you had to pay £10 per night to park at hotel. we had to park in multi story carpark at shopping centre over road which was free. I am disabled. Also we had to leave a key card in room to keep heater working, however we returned to room to find key card removed and room cold. The second day we returned to room to find door key card missing from room, The cooked breakfast was slightly below avarage quality wise.

We had an issue upon arrival they couldn’t find our booking which was booked and paid in full 5 months before, I was actually charged for someone else’s room until I seen the cost was wrong and then found my receipt this was refunded back . They did eventually sort the booking and gave us free parking and a couple of drinks at the bar as a good will gestur.

Being an Express there was no Room Service, but the helpful Staff gave us many different options to choose from which suited our needs. We really enjoyed the cooked breakfast which was included in our Room Rate.

Superb value for money on Sunday night stay
Great value for money when staying Sunday (breakfast included). Brilliant location with tramline stop up the road and everything needed room wise. However asked for a quiet room, but sleeptime was disrupted by what we can only think was a staff locker room above room 125? Don’t think it was a hotel guest as sounded like doors closing every so often (there are no cupboards in hotel room!). This woke us every time it happened throughout the night and after 6am, we never got back to sleep 😩
