Excellent stay every time

Love this hotel, have stayed multiple times for work, in a safe quiet area in easy walking distance to town. Staff are alwaysy lovely. This stay I had a funny noisy flappy sound outside my room which I phoned reception about and it was sorted with no interruption within 30mins. Room service options are good- the fried chicken is yum!
