The location was great, room was very clean, comfortable and the pod ensuite bathroom provided a great shower and good facilities. Staff were all very friendly and efficient. Breakfast at the very near sister hotel (Novotel) offered great choice although quite busy and a little slow to replenish food items. Very good value breakfast though!

The staff on the desk said "Sorry, we don't do that". At ...
