Beautifully comfortable clean hotel, wonderful obliging staff. It was so nice to be able to sit in the lobby with our friends after a show & have a beer & nibbles. Only negative…was being woken early up by the construction going on across the road. But otherwise, a lovely stay & we definitely will return.

Clean and comfortable room. Staff were lovely. Location was excellent! A really nice hotel. Only reason I’ve given 4 stars is that there is construction going on that is very loud, wasn’t advised prior to booking. Staff came to give ear plugs but we could barely hear each other talking.
