The staff were helpful, and the proximity to City Centre was very convenient. Breakfast was really sub-standard. Bed felt a bit uneven

Would otherwise have been acceptable for the price, less than other typical local offers from the other chains. But broken sink tap (hanging off sink), broken door security latch, very noisy plumbing in ceiling, room a bit smelly (due to mechanical ventilation and sealed windows?).

I would say that the check could have been better. The receptionist didn't explain about the need to use the key in lifts. Also, when we got the room a cleaner said that the child sofa bed was broken. Hence we had to move to a different bedroom. That aside, our experience was overall a positive one with nice, helpful staff, a gym and plenty of choice at the breakfast table. And a nice downstairs area to relax/drink in the evenings.

Sorry
Spent the night sleeping on the floor as it was more comfortable than the broken sofa bed with a mattress that was made entirely of springs and akin to sleeping on a bed of nails. Tried the hotel 'restaurant' for our evening meal only to find the only thing on the menu was pizza. As I'm lactose intolerant this meant my family had to roam the streets looking for something to eat. Upon explaining how atrocious my nights sleep or lack of sleep was due to their inadequate facilities I did get told they are "sorry". Sorry for torturing their guests with such misery.

The rooms are not very clean. I was given a room on 5th floor. The couch in room had dirty stains all over it. The bathroom was dirty. I had to change my room to the top floor 19. The outside area was clean dining coud be a little bit better with more variety of food. Juice was waterless. Staff were okay

Not pushchair friendly had to carry the pram up and down the stairs to get to the lift. Wanted some milk for the room took so long I had to abandon that idea. Sofa bed was uncomfortable. Room was not spacious enough for a family of 4. Noisy neighbours that kept waking my baby up at night.
