The hotel is convenient for business in the area. It has a decent size car park. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is much better quality than most hotels this price. My room had stains on the carpet I’m hoping were spilled coffee. I had some minor issues with the heating in the room but this was resolved. Overall good and I would certainly use this hotel again when in the area for business again

My welcome was excellent, the lady checking me in took good care of me & when I said I have Coeliac Disease and cannot eat anything contaminated with gluten, she took great care to show me a card that I simply had to complete and put on my table when having dinner or breakfast & the team would ensure I was provided suitable food. The dinner menu didn't appeal but luckily the pub next door had a good gluten free menu so I had dinner there. My room was reasonably apponted and everythign was where I needed it, or so I thought. In the morning preparing for my day I stepped into the shower washed my hair and reached for the bodywash, much as I pumped the bottle it had run dry and I was left with shampoo to use as a body wash - not the end of the world but anoying as I had no choice. Having finished my all over shampoo I completed my dietary card and headed off to th elift, only 1 of the 2 were working so I joined on the 1st floor then proceded to visit 5,4,3 & 2 before squeezing out of the now cramped lift to have breakfast. I went in, nobody to greet me, no staff in site so I found a table & went to get coffee with my card sat on my table. Nobody came to check the card, I got some hopefully safe food & ate, several staff noticed the card & actively swerved my table! I think the dietary card is a great idea but the lack of any staff engagement makes it a wasted gesture. Checkout was fine, I just wished all the staff were as customer focussed as others are.

Number of disappointing aspects. Bathroom was a wet room for disabled access with bad drainage so half the floor was covered in water, didn't feel like a hotel bathroom. The automatic sensor tap was extremely annoying, needed at least a few seconds flow of water as it was tricky being able to rinse your toothbrush. Breakfast was very disappointing, tiny plate and had to be kept waiting a number of times, firstly no cutlery, then had to wait for sausage and bacon as there were none, then went back for orange juice but no glasses, then no pastries. I appreciate it was busy, but seemed really under staffed, and to not have the basics ready and constantly topped up meant I had to keep getting back up off my table multiple times to get aspects of my breakfast. Staff were friendly and I didn't want to complain there and then when they already looked overworked and fed up.
