8/10 Good
"Rooms were good, powerful shower. Breakfast was good although busy. All staff were good. Only downside is that you have to pay £8 for parking on top which seems crazy for a hotel so far out of town. This needs to be factored in to the price of the rooms."

8/10 Good
"Everything you need, and nothing that you don't. Tiny, windowless room, tiny, but well designed shower room. If all you need is a comfortable bed for the night (we were attending a show at the Regent theatre, and going out afterwards) this is a good option when prices all around are high. 5-10 minutes walk from theatre, a Wetherspoon and nightlife. And steps away from cheap parking available on Your Parking Space. What's not to like?"
