surprisingly great stay
smooth process luggage storage quick arrival
The self check-in process worked smoothly. I received a text detailing the necessary codes. the team happily stored my luggage when i asked, even offering to take it to my room (charming gesture!). reaching them by mobile was easy, and they arrived in less than five minutes.
the shower had visible staining, which gave an impression of uncleanliness. i think a replacement would significantly improve the bathroom experience.

breakfast is not available at the hotel. many food options are very close, including a coffee shop right outside (convenient for a quick morning coffee). guests have to find alternative solutions for meals.

stained shower non-existent service
The shower was terribly stained. It needs immediate attention. also, there wasn't any staff present. i wanted to leave my suitcase after checkout, a common service i expect. however, the lack of a reception area made it impossible. Repeated calls to the provided numbers went unanswered. i had to pay for luggage storage elsewhere. this added both cost and inconvenience to my plans.

simple stay near station
single rooms mobile text access system flexible arrangement
the blagrave rooms made it easy after the concert. i found single rooms, self contained and reasonably priced. i booked in easily via mobile text, and that arrangement worked well for me. the access system felt simple and flexible.
the bathroom light didn't work . also, hooks on the room and bathroom doors would really help. i did notice pub yard noise early in the morning, but thats not surprising.
