    no carpets in rooms means it’s not so comfortable and doesn’t feel clean on your feet. air conditioning is now also not strong enough - gets hot. had to ask for a fan in the room.

    great location, good rooms and excellent breakfast

    Due to the central location, external noise continued well in to the early hours of the morning. Taxi horns beeping, people chatting singing, noise from bars and clubs. A very rude gent working in reception shut me down very quickly when I politely asked for help in getting my luggage as he was making a call on his mobile.

    Many of the hotel guests attended the Bruce Springsteen concert, and the hotel adjusted their prices accordingly due to the increased demand. I was willing to pay this rate for the location until I encountered an issue. Despite the management being aware of the concert's end time at 10 pm and the expected influx of guests, there was only one person serving at the bar around 10:15 pm. This is unacceptable given the circumstances, especially considering the additional charge levied on guests, which should have allowed for adequate staffing. Despite the tremendous effort of the lone staff member, who maintained a positive attitude throughout, sporadic support from a manager was insufficient, particularly when the manager lacked basic knowledge such as what a blush wine is. Furthermore, despite the bar area being overcrowded and lacking seating for guests, the manager refused to open the adjoining room, citing it was set for breakfast. This decision was neither customer-friendly nor conducive to encouraging guests to stay longer and spend more in your bar. Given our first round of drinks was£111 you certainly missed out on sales due to this poor management and woful customer service.

    Dinner on Sunday was VERY poor to say the least. Ordered battered cod, which resembled an over cooked oven version you would buy in the frozen section of the supermarket. The real chef must've been off that day!!

    Air con switched off at midnight and unable to open the window. I’m all for energy saving but it was just a bit too warm

    The room was spacious and the coffee machine was a lovely touch. Exceptionally clean and loved that we had sky tv in the room. Shower was great too. Staff very friendly and helpful
