The staff ot reception were lovely during check in. We got to our room, a double and it was very small. It was clean, the shower was lovely too. The lighting was terrible and the only area for sitting was the bed. Or a tiny stool in the corner. There was no wardrobe, drawers or area to store our overnight bags. Only a few coat hooks and 2 trouser/skirt coat hangers! So nowhere to hang a dress or shirt and no chair to put it on instead. We had a bath towel each and 1 hand towel to share which is unusual...usually you'd have 2 towels each. The bathroom was so dark, it was impossible to tell which bottle had which toiletry in it. The shower was lovely, but the water ran down the door and out on to the bathroom floor. And with no space between the loo and sink to stand to dry ourselves, we had to stand outside the bathroom, behind the entrance door. Trying to get ready for a night out was a challenge as the lighting was shocking bad. They did however have a lovely Dyson hairdryer. A real positive is the close proximity to the 3arena, which is why we were there. Only a 5min walk and you're there. Once back in the room though, you have no choice but to leave your clothes on the floor! The bed was comfortable and we slept fine until 5.30 when we were awakened by the sound of a truck reversing! The bed was right up against the window on 1 side, and it was drafty and noisy. Also, if you wanted to use the bathroom once in bed, you have to climb over your partner, as you can't get out your own side. The pocket door is also noisy, meaning if you did climb over them without waking them, the door would definitely do the trick! Breakfast was nice next day, as were the staff. Although not an awful place to stay, you certainly wouldn't stay more than one night in a "double" room. It wasn't comfortable. I recently stayed in a very budget hotel for work, and it had twice the floor space on this room. However, for the ease of going to the 3arena it was perfect.
