Good location clean and tidy ( they were painting when we were there but no disruption at all very professionally done) rooms a good size with all you want from a hotel stay all in all a good stay, breakfast could have been a little better lots of food a bit rubbery with being under hot plates for a while, husband wasn't pleased with gluten free cornflakes being his only option as he likes his cornflakes but no ordinary option apart from that good selection of breakfast items

In a word this hotel is grim. The room was dirty, the toilet was blocked and when we checked out in the morning there was a drunk person passed out on the stairs. However, the location is good for the city centre.
