The Gresham Aparthotel
Needed to add an extra night due to one of my siblings being end of life. The lady on reception was so kind to find me a good rate and stay in the same room. This is why I choose to stay at the Gresham every time I need to visit my family. I can’t fault the place in the least. Will keep coming back ...

Leicester Marriott Hotel
Check in was very good, the room was brilliant in a great location. The only downside was the breakfast, plates were cold, the cooked food was cold and the bread for toast was very stale.
