I found the hotel to be quite stylish for the price. The onsite parking was also very convenient. My room was modern and spacious. The bathroom featured fine white tiles. The shower reminded me of a rainforest shower.

adequate stay

comfortable room tea selection uncomfortable bed parking cost

My room was comfortable and clean. there was plenty of tea in the room. The staff were very accommodating. i was grateful for that. The food was also delicious.

The bed felt uncomfortable without a mattress protector. it reminded me of i was sleeping directly on a lumpy mattress. the parking cost seemed high at £17 for the night.

small room single lift

the room they give me, it was kinda small. the bed was nearly touching the wall because of the limited space and there weren't any fridge. there was nowhere to put my suitcase when it was time to pack or unpack things. also, only one lift was working and the staff used it too with their big trolleys.
