Great location and city view was ok but only really overlooked a train track and other hotels. Room needed to be decorated. Holes in carpet, broken table leg and very old desk in room. Bathroom however was lovely.

Good stay.
Clean, tidy, spacious. Only thing I would moan about was the carpet was a little grubby. Found the car park a little steep on price considering I have paid this money to stay at the hotel. (£25) various pricing for breakfast look on the expensive side but we did not have one. So I cannot comment. Beds were very comfy and all amenities were available, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Very large TV and WiFi.
