Disappointed for a Mecure
Waiting a while to be checked in, was a maze to find the room. The room was very outdated and in need of a refresh! The light from the corridor came under the room door and you could hear people banging the doors. I could also hear the people in the room next to me everytime the spoke. Breakfast was a shambles, food everywhere, no many options, not much food left. I ordered 2 fried eggs well done, they arrived over 10 minutes later, one just about cooked, the other runny so I didn’t eat it. Online it says 12 check out, but it was in fact 11.

Nice city centre hotel.
It was a nice hotel, parking is very limited, at night they lock the car park door but you climb all the stairs with your bags to find out. You then have to exit the car park and walk up the street, there isn't a bell or sign to warn you. Bedrooms are also a small trek using two lifts from reception. Rooms and bathrooms are nice and cery well equipped. Wifi is very good too. Bar is nice, staff are exceptionally friendly and food is tasty.

A tired bed for a tired head
Staff were very friendly helpful and rooms clean, but hotel overall had a tired feel about it. Bathroom was freezing cold as no heating in it, carpet had rucked up and lighting in room was poor making for a dull room. Bar was really understocked and I felt for the staff that they didn't have drinks available that you would commonly find in a bar (prompting the embarrassed comment from one of them that they have repeatedly requested new stocks but they never appear).

Decent hotel overall however, the big let down was the that the radiators could not be turned off forcing us to have the windows open. Normally this isn’t the end of the world however with the city centre location, there was lots of noise made by drunk people and a bell from a local church every hour. Tap strangely did not get cold either.
