Liked: Amenities
Very convenient & central to trains/ restaurants etc. a Although no car parking on site, hotel has good discounted car parking nearby- but not so easy to find if you are unfamiliar with area. Pleased to have good double glazing against the raucous noise from revellers that goes on into early hours of the morning. Reception staff most helpful.
