10/10 Exceptional

Well appointed, right in the heart of the City. Everything was great. There is no onsite parking but there is plenty of parking close by which is free at the weekend, from Sat pm.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place to stay I paid via hotels.com and I still had to give them my credit card and drivers license which annoyed me. But the place is really nice inside the curtains in my room didn’t block out the street lights that were on all night

8/10 Very good

It’s new, tidy, clean but lacks soul. I had a massive room that was mostly empty space and no artwork on the walls to give it some character. It’s as if no thought was put into the decorating. Needs some work in the decor department
