We picked this primarily with EV charging in mind, and weren't disappointed either. Comfy beds, nice meals. Friendly staff, clean. Its 3 miles south of the city but the city parking is good and the traffics not bad.

Cannot fault my stay here. Very nice check in friendly staff, nice bar area, excellent gym and pool/sauna. Just a very nice feel to the place. My only gripe would be having to pay for parking although only £3 if you booked direct through the hotel there was no charge. Seems unfair. And also very limited 0% alcohol selection in the bar. I will definitely be staying here again though.

8/10

They had a elevator, that was nice. You have to reserve you time to use the pool/spa area. The restaurant was good. Overall the services were normal but impersonal just like many larger hotels (I normally choose smaller places but went with this one for the use of the hot tub/ pool that I didnt end up getting to use) Good tea and coffee selection. Comfortable bed, bathtub had a few paint splatters

On check in we were told general manager had given us an upgraded room. Pretty sure it was what we’d paid for and nothing more. Room was pretty standard and nothing more than expected.

8/10

Room was fine, if a little dated. However, far to hot. Had the window open and the fan on constantly - no air-con. I had to ask reception for another pillow as the ones in the room were so uncomfortable. They were old, flat and rock solid. The pillow given wasn't much better. Although we said we didn't need beds made or towels changed, I would still expect milk & coffee to be replenished. We had to request these at reception. Food was very good, with big portions. However, the drink was expensive.
