"Check-in and check-out at reception were very smooth. The room was very clean, well maintained, and easy to use. The hotel is also very close to the station, which made it very convenient. I felt it was an ideal place to stay for a business trip."

"The stay was fine However when we went for our first breakfast on the Tuesday after arriving on the Monday we asked if there were gluten free sausages we were told that a delivery was due but in the 4 days of subsequent breakfast none turned up which was a little disappointing especially as I but this in my notes to the hotel Having said what was available was lovely"
