Radisson Blu Hotel, Leeds City Centre
Very dated, room very warm as air conditioning did not point towards the bed. Slept on top it the bed and still woke several times during the night. Pet hate is no water provided in a four star hotel.

Area for working was listed in the description bug when I got to the room there was no area to work from- fine if you’re just looking for somewhere to stay but I’d booked it as I needed to work on my laptop that evening
