Great stay. Clean, warm. Staff were friendly. Easy walk to the octagon, restaurants. Booked a carpark downstairs easy access via lift up to our floor. There is a height limit of 1.9m which wasn’t an issue for us with a medium sized 4am. Views were amazing from the 8th floor. Chromecast to tv from our phone so easy - didn’t need to log in to our streaming accounts on tv. Would stay again.

Staff were helpful and not overly chatty. Checked in at 5pm only to be told room was not ready for at least another hour. When check-in time is supposed to be 2pm/3pm. Good paid parking. Hotel appeared to operate on skeletal staff. Room was very spacious and clean however, there was a big gap between floor and door which allowed cold air and noise to travel into room. Amenities were very good especially decent sized kettle for tea. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast offerings were very good both hot and cold.
