Check in was a poor experience - ignored until the staff member completed her task on the computer and then there seemed to be some communication/language barriers?. Paying £10 for parking was another negative. Positives- Rooms were clean and spacious and quiet

About a 15 minute walk to the stadium and a 10 minute walk to the centre itself. The hotel is your standard big chain affair. The restaurant was nice and reasonably priced. The room was very clean and spacious though there was a strong smell of bleach when we entered, which I guess shows that it was clean. The main issue was the lack of hot water in the morning and the fact the staff did nothing about it apart from directing me to Expedia. Expedia were then saying they couldn’t get the hotel to engage with them about the issue. Lesson learnt, don’t stay at Novotel in the future.

Paid an eye-watering 5 star price to stay here for the Billy Joel concert for at best 3 star hotel. Lifts not working the whole weekend. Weren’t even asked if we could manage to carry our cases upstairs just told to get on with it! Safe in the room not working and not told. Breakfast was ok but scrambled egg tasted powdery. Positives - bed was comfortable and room was clean. Will not be rushing back.
