Stayed here for a night a few weeks back. Mixed feelings about this hotel. The exterior wasn't the nicest, it could do with a bit of makeover.
Check in was a brief affair, not much chat from the person on reception. Guess some people would be happy with this though.
First thing I noticed when I walked in was the heat, it was overpowering. Was worried our room might be the same but it wasn't too bad once we cracked the window open a little. There's also no lift in the hotel, which isn't good for people with mobility problems or big suitcases.
On to the good points... Hairdryer and GHD straighteners in the room. Result! Lightens your load a little bit having these extras. Lovely little biscuits in there also. The bed was pretty comfy, decor was modern and the bathroom clean.
The TV in the room was a little bit of the small side, but we hardly used that and I doubt anyone would really. It's more of a base to stay kinda place.
Unfortunately, there was a slight smell of smoke in the room. Perhaps someone had been having a cheeky cig out the window. The view from the window was pretty though.The water temperature in the shower wasn't hot enough, which was a shame. Nothing worse than a lukewarm shower.
Breakfast the next morning was not bad. Perhaps a little greasy. The lady serving us was, again, not very chatty. Found the staff in this place a little bit unattentive and perhaps a bit fed up. Maybe it's a morale thing that's going on.
It costs around £80 a night for this hotel, I think this is asking a little too much for what you get. Not a terrible stay but for a three star hotel, it could have been a little better.
