The small hotel parking is open to public for the same price, and hotel being next to the Excel means there is nooo parking space available during an event. The sign when entering the parking always says there is space, but it’s not true, when you get in, you will see there is no car park available and many cars already entered and found no space is available, and now they have to pay £5 to exit the car park.

The hotel has parking which is open to public for the same price. And as it’s next to the Excel, there is no parking space available during daytime.

Very pleasant and comfortable stay

Very pleasant stay - I have stayed here before so I knew that the Hotel was very clean and the rooms were a very good size and very clean. The only issue we had was that the room key didn't work when we first checked in but I understand this was a technical issue within the hotel which was rectified later that evening.

A few improvements needed

One night stay with friends. Arrived to be told the wifi and electricity was down. Taken to our room by member of staff, no offer of drink to apologise and we weren’t advised that the issue was fixed (as advised we would). Room was very hot, which meant we didn’t sleep well. We went to the bar to order some drinks but no one offered to bring them to us.

Nice hotel with a few flaws.

Perfectly good hotel conveniently located for the Excel. We did not sleep due to the heat in the room which we had no control over. We had not been informed that there was work or issues with the heating system. Was disappointed with my main course at dinner which was not served with the baby new potatoes as per the menu description. Instead, without asking me, it came with a rather bizarre potato cake which I was told had vegetables in it but did in fact contain olives. My husband tasted it & declared it not at all nice. I was not offered an alternative.
