some issues
stained teaspoons insufficient toilet roll
The room felt a little unclean. i noticed stained teaspoons and glasses. there was also only one toilet roll, which wasn't enough. the bathroom heater made the room too hot. We had to open the windows. but that didn't really help cool things down.

A mixed bag. Issues with cleanliness
dirty mugs missing toilet roll
The location was acceptable.
The room was not clean. Mugs had old tea stains and a glass had lipstick marks. The bathroom heater was hot. It made the room unbearable even with windows open. Only one toilet roll was supplied, and it wasn't even new.

Central Location and Great Service
central location helpful staff coffee selection
The location is very central and convenient. The staff were accommodating and helpful, particularly with directions to long-stay parking. I found a selection of tea and coffee in the room. I also received complimentary water and biscuits.
The climb up two flights of stairs was difficult for me.

the room was spacious, i noticed it had a bath in the bathroom. the refreshments area had plenty of tea bags and milk. it felt very cosy..
my front facing room was quite noisy. groups leaving late bars in the early hours created disturbances. the en-suite seemed to need refurbishment.
