The hotel offers a nice location within easy access to the town and transportation links, with clean and comfortable rooms.

6.0/10

The hotel has very well decorated and clean rooms with a mega comfortable bed. However, my room at the front faced noise from people outside, making it hard to sleep. The bathroom window had plain glass, forcing me to keep the blind down even during the day, impacting natural light.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were so well decorated and clean, the bed was mega comfortable. However, noise from outside disturbed my sleep, and the plain glass in the bathroom window affected the natural light.

Service

6.0

The staff apologized for errors and were nice, but seemed understaffed and unorganized with a 'not my job, not my problem' attitude. Room service, dry cleaning, and housekeeping were average. The receptionist promptly solved an issue with the checkout time.

Location

5.0

The hotel is not in a great location, situated in the middle of an industrial estate, although adequate for touring. It is close to the M1 motorway but not in the city center, with some noise from function attendees at night.

Dining

5.0

The food was okay but nothing special, and the staff lacked enthusiasm with a seemingly understaffed environment. Prices were reasonable. The selection was basic, and the quality was forgettable.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were average, offering standard amenities. Value for money was questionable considering the lack of standout features.
