safe neighborhood helpful staff

The hotel's location allowed easy access to frequent bus services into the city center. The neighborhood not sketchy at all. I was given a family room. (a really nice surprise). Staff members were helpful.

The overnight parking fee was unexpected and cost £10. They did not mention it before i reached the cancellation cutoff.

My room was very clean. The breakfast buffet featured a wide selection of items (I liked the fresh fruit). Staff were both helpful and friendly.

The water bottles for sale at the hotel were quite expensive.
