perfect location build in bed convenient parking small table hot room extreme heat
the location was perfect right in the middle of town. parking was a short one minute walk and cost only £4 per day. i liked the build in bed. it had lots of room to put my stuff. the corner was perfect to prop up my pillows and sit against.
room 6 was too hot to sit in. i appreciate it was the hottest day of the year, but i had just traveled. i needed somewhere i could come back to cool off and get changed for the evening. sadly there was only a small table by the bins to sit outside. i didn't want to be in a busy pub

Adequate Hotel Experience

convenient location friendly staff parking challenge impersonal system
The hotel boasts a very central location (which is certainly convenient). The staff were friendly and accommodating during breakfast service. I liked the breakfast and the coffee on offer. There was also a pleasant decking area overlooking the river, I found it an advantage.
I noted the parking situation can be a challenge. I also found that the system of electronic admission, with multiple keypads, was not my preference (I prefer a traditional key system). I found this rather impersonal. I was only staying one night, though I had booked for two originally.
