Never again

Where do I start;
Accommodation, not bad, although the central heating was on 24/7 with outside temparatures of 18 degrees, no valve handles on the radiators to turn them off, like sleeping in a greenhouse.
Service at breakfast was nothing short of shocking, you can expect to que for at least 20 minutes to get a seat at a table, then the fun begins, not all cutlery is there, no butter or milk on the table - tea or coffee, forget it you can finish your breakfast before they come round. I stayed for 22 days on business, never again.

Stayed here over Christmas, the Leisure club was great to escape from all the usual Christmas Fuss.
Hotel staff were great and the upgraded room was really good.

Nice Reception Area, Shame About the Rest

If you are on a business trip I would sincerely advise avoiding this hotel. The last thing that should be on you mind is the though of coming back from a hard day to this hotel, both in terms of the hotel and the surrounding area..
I arrived at 2100 check in was about the only good thing about the visit, the young lady (Arabela I think her name was) was nice and very patient with a wary traveller and my collegue.
The floor we were staying on was being redecorated with all the walls stripped down to the plaster board and emulsion paint fumes throughout the entire maze (sorry corridor). My room was 'basic' with the 14 inch TV on a floor stand positioned perfectly to kick every morning, along with a trouser press, twin beds and a lead for the internet connection. First thing that was missing happens to be the remote, not on the bed or table. So I inform the reception desk, face to face, that I had no remote - and the promised they'd get a replacement sent up to me. Never happened....... Read more

Great visit

I was greeted as soon as I arrived with a smile from the chap on concierge and the Front Desk team were efficient and helpful.
Paid for upgraded room which was good and had air conditioning, room service was quick and hot.
Leisure club is superb with a good size pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.
All in all this place is good value for money, worth paying for upgraded room although they are refurbishing the standard room corridors.
