Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Many find the rooms spacious, featuring comfortable, large beds and powerful showers. The breakfast buffet is often mentioned as a fantastic value at £12, though some have found the bacon hard and dry. Conveniently located near a canal, it's only a short walk to a nice coffee shop, and the hotel offers sufficient parking.

The room was spacious. It had good air conditioning and everything I needed.

The duvet cover had a tear. I noticed the toilet seat was missing a screw, so it moved every time I used it. Noisy people were slamming doors between midnight and 2:30 am. It was hard to sleep.
