my room had a separate lounge area right on the high street. the room felt warm (it was a bonus because a storm passed through). there was enough space and ample electric sockets (a great practical addition).
i found no one at reception when i arrived at 5pm on a saturday. i had to ring a number to get assistance (this was quite unusual).

Spacious Room and Great Location

good sized room clean bed large bathroom
I stayed in a good sized room. It was larger than I expected. The bed was very comfy and tidy. The bathroom was very large, so i had plenty of space.
The single glazed windows did not block the traffic noise. I could hear activity on the high street. The hotel should consider double glazing.
