cracked washbasin broken coffee machine
The location? Fine, I guess. The staff seemed pleasant, though the promised "luxury" experience missed the mark. Our Club Beautiful Room definitely needed some TLC. The washbasin had a crack artfully patched up, and the electric radiator was always on. Even with the key removed, I was still roasting. The coffee machine's water jug was also cracked. I was not impressed, not one bit.

great hotel stay

clean room perfect location great staff friendly reception
My room WAS lovely and clean. The hotel provides a perfect location for restaurants as well as a pleasant walk to the town centre. The staff was the BEST thing, especially Alex on reception.
The automated paying system removes the personal experience. I wasn't sure i liked it.
