My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and it was even more affordable to stay than to get a taxi home. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was a slight hiccup with the extension cable. The location was ideal for the snooker competition we attended and convenient for exploring the city. However, the dining experience had its ups and downs with some dishes being rank, but the overall value for money was good.

The hotel is conveniently located near busy main roads, but the rooms do look a bit dated compared to other premier hotels. The space is good but having a child's bed in the room limited access to the desk or chair. The service was a mix of efficiency and warmth but lacked consistent friendliness. The location is great for access to the west part of the city, especially close to the Kings Theatre and surrounded by restaurants and pubs. The dining experience was enjoyable overall, although the service was overworked at times. Facilities are sufficient but may not be the most modern.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, right next to everything I needed, including the Kings Theatre. However, the room was very dated and small, more like what you'd expect in a hostel from decades ago. On the bright side, the friendly service, particularly from Kate, shone through. The noise from a neighboring party made it hard to get a restful night's sleep, leaving me feeling exhausted in the morning.

The central location was convenient, but the cleanliness issues and proximity to strip clubs were off-putting. The dining was fantastic, but some aspects were expensive.
