We booked to use the gym then found out it was not open as it was being refurbished. The air con/heating was so noisy it kept us throughout the night. However, it was warm and the room was smart with a nice hot shower. The location is great but no nice view from our particular roo .

Room was v clean ,comfy bed, spacious but rather dark at night with no central light , room heater in room 405 very noisy could not leave on when trying to sleep. Breakfast was very hit and miss,not all items available at the same time we had to go back several times to get a full fried breakfast,ran out of white bread at 09.45 with 1.15 hours to go until breakfast was over. All in all good value for money apart from the breakfast debacle.
