Breakfast was very good and we were seated quickly. The room was clean, although the pillows were a bit hard and there were only two towels provided despite there being four of us. All of the staff were friendly and polite throughout our stay. The hotel manager, Richard (I believe), was exceptional. He couldn’t do enough to help and was constantly on the move, supporting different departments. It was genuinely refreshing to see such great, old-fashioned customer service.

Check-in was good, staff were pleasant and the process was quick and efficient. The main issue was breakfast. It was extremely overcrowded with nowhere to sit, and the entire buffet was constantly running out of food, not just croissants and juice. Hot items, pastries, and other options were repeatedly empty, making it frustrating to get a proper breakfast. The area felt completely under-resourced for the number of guests being catered for. When a table finally became free, it was wiped down quickly but still left dirty, and the floor was also dirty. Overall, breakfast was very disappointing and let down an otherwise decent stay.

Staff amd location were great however we had a family room for 2 adults and 2 kids. The sofa bed for kids was awful. Far too small and only really for 2 kids under 10. The bed was also on an incline and sloped toward the end. You could also feel every spring below the mattress and dangerous with all the mechanism of the sofa bed exposed. Easy for fingers to be caught.worst hotel sleep I’ve ever had. Breakfast and staff were fabulous shame the room didn’t match

Staff were all lovely and incredibly helpful. I was checked in and served in the bar by a young man whose name I didn't get, but he said he was supporting from the Bedford hotel. He was super helpful despite not being 100% familiar with the hotel and did his best to answer my questions about parking etc.
