central locationgreasy baconunbearable noise
the location was acceptable, close to the city center.
The breakfast was a HUGE letdown. The scrambled eggs tasted like rubber, and the bacon was FAR too greasy. my room faced the street, so street noise was UNBEARABLE, even with the windows closed. plus, the tiny bathroom had a funny smell that lingered.

fantastic stay in the city!

convenient parkingexcellent selectioncarpet stain
i found parking very convenient and it cost £16 for 24 hours, great. the breakfast choices catered to many tastes, offering warm food and an excellent selection of croissants. it was all very appealing!!!
i noticed some stains on the carpet in the hallway, it could use a little attention. it was a minor thing, but i thought i should mention it.

the hotel sits just at the end of the continuation of high street, beside the riverside, offering easy access. the location is excellent, as it is a short distance from the centre and all amenities.
