good sizedeep bathbeer tapsbreakfast issuesstretched staff
i was happy the room was a good size. the hot water was plentiful, nice for a nice, deep bath (just what i needed after a long day!).
The breakfast had some issues. They ran out of butter, honey, and eggs. the draft beer taps weren't working either, a bummer. i also felt the person at reception was stretched too thin, trying to manage both the reception and the bar.

The staff members were friendly and helpful . The location is quite convenient, close to both the motorway and the city center (about a mile). My room was clean with comfortable beds. Breakfast was delicious and offered an extensive selection (I especially liked the cereal bar).
The hotel shows some signs of its age and could benefit from a bit of updating in certain areas.
