I'd booked the cheapest room, but still £100 per night. I was a small single. Shower / toilet room was really compact and desk wasn't fit for anything other than making tea (in fact the tea tray was fixed onto it taking half the space up). On the plus side, fixtures and fittings were new and clean, the hotel was well appointed and great central location. I just don't think that spec of room quite justified the price.

Highly recommend
Very convenient location for the city, able to park the car with no issues and enjoyed a decent, well-priced drink while we waited to check in. Excellent service from the reception would let us check in slightly early at no extra cost. Room was clean, very comfy bed, powerful shower and a well stocked tea/coffee/refreshments selection. Breakfast was outstanding - fab selection of continental options, buffet or hot food to order at your table. We had the eggs royal, which were delicious and French toast. Very impressed overall, especially as such a reasonable rate for the room. Thanks for a lovely stay.
