The rooms are a good size and the beds comfortable.
Some of the bathroom fittings/radiator etc are a bit dated, considering this was a deluxe room.
The armchairs in our room need upholstered or replaced.

Good for an overnight but wouldn't stay any longer. Hotel is very tired in areas and could be doing with a refresh.
Additional charges for parking and use of leisure facilities weren't made clear at time of booking.
Would be nice to see some USB sockets in the room and more than the bog standard tv channels.
Only having a fixed shower head isnt great and the 3 in 1 shampoo/soap/shower gel was in short supply.
Bed was extremely soft with lots of roll together so not great.
Staff were lovely though and it's in a great location.
