The on-site car park made arrival easy. It's city-center, so £14 a night seemed fair. First-come, so arrive early.

The location was very convenient, directly across from the train station. The staff was AMAZING!!! I appreciated their friendly and helpful attitude. My room was modern, and I was very pleased with its updated features.

The parking app did not work because my Google account is set to the US. The hotel advertises parking for £10 per day, yet I paid £20. The windows were difficult to close, annoying.

The room size was quite disappointing. It felt cramped. I also had trouble with the noise from outside. Loud music and people kept me awake. The windows did little to block the sound. The sticky floors in the bar were unpleasant too.
