Acceptable stay with a few issues

high prices dim lighting

I found the bar prices a little ridiculous. A diet coke costing over £4 seemed EXCESSIVE. The family room felt cramped because of the sofa bed, leaving little room to move. The lighting was dim, and the mirror light didn't work.

The room lacked air conditioning. It was HOT. Opening the window introduced noise from nearby nightclubs. The breakfast lacked coffee. A major disappointment first thing in the morning.

Check-in was smooth. Dawn was pleasant. She gave information about local restaurants with discounts for hotel guests. The location is ideal for going out.

I expect the AC to function in the summer. The room was warm, and the AC did not work. I also had to pay extra for parking.

comfortable lounge central location ample breakfast

I found a large comfortable lounge space here. The location is central, right on the high street, so many restaurants and shops are nearby. The breakfast selection was ample. It really fueled my morning.

The lift often had a queue.
