The hotel was easy to find because of sat nav and postcode. check-in was quick and cute. The front desk staff was friendly. i was offered a choice of bonus points or a free breakfast because i am a priority club member.

The location was good for the train station. Nothing to write home about, but acceptable.
I found some issues though. the air conditioning barely worked, so the room remained stuffy. also, the room smelled vaguely of old socks. Not the most appealing welcome, i must say. twice!!
