"Lovely little spot near to the station and local amenities. The room was clean and comfortable. The lift is a bit small but not complaints. The shower and bathroom was functional. Stayed for a night and ticked the boxes. "

Full review:
Great modern room, staff at the front desk were professional and helpful, the shower was fantastic and the bed really comfortable. I had a great nights sleep. The room was very clean!
I didn’t take the breakfast option, but one was available and there were also dinner options, although again i didn’t take them.
With hotels, I need to feel safe and comfortable and this hotel felt exactly that. The only con during my stay was that the parking was full when i arrived so they directed me to an alternative car park which was 8 mins walk away - something i didn’t feel like doing in the dark in an area i don’t know well. Luckily i found overnight parking nearby but i wouldn’t let this stop me from returning."
"Our room was super comfortable and clean with everything we needed for a 2 night stay. The staff at this hotel are very friendly and helpful. Due to its great location to restaurants, etc., We didn't eat at the hotel. We did have a few drinks in the bar, which is very comfortable, but found that the drinks were fairly expensive. We parked the car (they have valet service) and walked everywhere. Superb location."
"Staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. The rooms were fairly dark which made reading difficult. My only negatives would be the bathroom was very small with no hanging space and the wet towels I’d put on the shower floor to be replaced were refolded and put back to reuse. Also, our toilet roll wasn’t replaced. These were very quickly replaced when mentioned to reception though."
