My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although plain and functional, was too hot during the warm weather. The service was friendly at reception and during breakfast, but some issues like the squeaking front door were bothersome. The location was convenient for visiting the Sage Theatre, but the daily parking charge was an added expense. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel bar and restaurant seemed ok on arrival, but found the room to be dusty, the bed throw was covered in white stains, the bed was extremely uncomfortable - would have been better sleeping on the floor. However, the closed-off system was perfect for me and my partner.

I had a perfect stay with my partner at this hotel. The room was very well furnished, featuring an excellently comfortable bed, a sofa, a very spacious shower, and lovely complementary soap. It was well appointed for the price, and we even decided to upgrade for a few pounds to enjoy a huge bed. The only downside was that the room was a bit cold, with just a tiny wall heater.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were flooded when showered, making it very slippery and not suitable for a disabled person. We checked in late, well after the designated time, and we were disturbed by a room phone call at an inconvenient hour. On the bright side, the room was a good place to relax with a glass of wine.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good aspects. The room was clean and spacious but got hot without AC, and the location was ideal for exploring the city although a bit off-center. The service was friendly overall, and the dining experience had its ups and downs. Facilities were decent, offering the basics needed for a comfortable stay.
