Good location close to station and busy shopping street. Hotelnisbtired and in need of renovation. Closer to a 3* than a 4*. Gym is annoyingly off site and only available from 8am-10am on a Wednesday!. Rooms are dated - no USB / Cable slots. Location is good but that’s where it ends I’m afraid. Won’t be staying again.
