“I found this property's modern design and high standards of cleanliness notable, especially the walk-in showers in the rooms. The location strikes a nice balance, convenient to both nightlife and shopping. From what I gather, the on-site grill enjoys a solid reputation, something to consider when planning a return visit.”

The room was modern. The spacious shower was GREAT!!! I found the food really good at the bar. Staff were friendly.
The parking is a bit unsecure and around the corner. It seems steep to pay £22 each for breakfast when it was not included in my £230 a night stay.

Disappointing Service Experience

delayed bags
The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the premises.
My bags were delayed after check-in. They did not arrive until well after the scheduled time, causing inconvenience and delay. This lack of timely service affected my plans for the evening. There seemed to be some miscommunication regarding the bag handling process.
