10/10 Excellent
"Very good property for the money. Bed comfortable room clean. Food was nice in the bar. Only negative which is annoying is that shower was terrible, very low water pressure in my room and the shower head fell apart when adjusting the spray pattern. I informed staff on check out, so hope it gets fixed for the next people. All in all very nice hotel and great location. I may make it my regular weekly stay for work, especially if shower issues and water pressure is sorted."
