I recently stayed on a weekend. The hotel location is great, very central. On arrival the air con console wasn’t working, so we contacted reception. Nothing happened but we were promised an engineer when we spoke to the front desk. There was no resolution to the problem. WeWent for a drink in the bar but the service was virtually non existent. The bar was filthy and had to wait at an empty bar for a long time. Definitely not worth the price or meeting expectations.

Wonderful location! The hotel doesn't have their own parking but there is a garage right across the street. We requested a room from the back side of the hotel as the nightlife on the front can get loud. …

This is a very nice hotel. The service was excellent - one day I complained my room had not been cleaned and housekeeping arrived literally two minutes afterwards. The rooms are big, the bed comfortable, and everything works. …

I've stayed at this hotel a number of times, and in general its been good.|Over the past few months the feel has certainly been more of a 'going through the motions' rather than any sort of pride. …

Just to be clear my scoring system:1/ Don't go, just don't.2/ I can't recommend going3/ I enjoyed it but probably won't go back4/ I enjoyed it, would go back especially if invited but would probably look elsewhere myself first.5/ I enjoyed it, would invite/recommend others there myselfOn a business trip... Hotel clean and tidy and staff friendly and helpful. Really, it should earn a 4 or 5 by my rating system...But the gym/pool doesn't open til 0700 - nor breakfast. And closed at 2100. If you're on a business trip like I was that leaves very little time to get a workout and breakfast before you start your day.Whilst I can understand the pool being closed, most hotels of this ilk these days have 24 hour gyms now. (I'm told it was a nice gym by people who got there early the day before - I ended up going for a run instead).So, if you're on a holiday trip and can afford a slow start, great hotel. If you're on business and want to use the leisure facilities or need an early start? I'd look elsewhere.

The location of this hotel is great. The amenities at this hotel are not only for guests. They have a membership so the pool, hot tub, and steam room was always packed. We only used the amenities once. I reserved the room with breakfast thinking it was a full ordering service, but it is just a continental breakfast. I asked if my room rate could be adjusted without the breakfast. We only ate breakfast there once. If you decide to book here do not book with breakfast you can pay for it once you are there. As for service the receptionists are nice, but I have been requesting a detailed invoice. They charged me a 3.99% because they say it is a fee from my bank. My bank says they shouldn't have charged that fee because it covered by my membership. DO NOT BOOK HERE.
