"Very comfortable bed"
Pros: Very comfortable bed.
Cons: The music in bar was far too loud and it was difficult to relax with a drink and relax in foyer area due to terribly loud music coming from bar area. definitely a put-off . relaxed conversation was not an option, even though i wanted to relax after a day's work.i would have reservations about staying there again because of it. no need for blowing off visitor's ears. a little bit of consideration for paying guests needed.

"Reception staff were very helpful and welcoming"
Pros: Reception staff were very helpful and welcoming.
room and facilities in the room very good.
Cons: Room was not ready when arrived at 2.30pm, waited an hour. booked room for 3 people, website stated double bed plus 2 single beds. room had double plus 1 single bed and was made up for 2 people. as we were 3 mature ladies we preferred our own beds. staff could not change 1st night but arranged triple room 2nd night and apologised saying the website got it wrong. was very cold 2nd night, heating not on. reception said heating on timer will go on at 5pm. was not happy as we were going to a concert and had to get ready in cold but water was hot. was freezing in the night, we had extra blanket put in room.
