Staff friendly, breakfast really good and location excellent for transport links. The only downfall was the outside of the hotel is scruffy and the trains run right outside which is really noisy and the air con in the room is noisy so didn't get much sleep however the rooms are functionable and clean.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
beds are less than ideal, not particularly comfortable. I appreciate that is a personal taste thing though. Hotel says it has Air con, It doesn't, the "air con" is controlled by the front desk and is basically a heater and they set the temp for the hotel. so your options here are 20 degrees or off that isn't air con to me. staff were fine, breakfast was fine. but none of this would be considered exceptional. car park is in a bit of a sketchy area, looks decidedly dodge, we were suprised tha car wasn't broken into - so that was a bonus. I would say you book this place out of absolute necessity and not out of choice.
