"The staff were all very friendly. I did want to order room service on the night I checked in, but there were no menus available in the room or mention of when the service ended. I also chose the hotel with the intention of using the pool, however this was closed for refurb which wasn't mentioned on the website. Also didn't find mention on the website of parking being £10 a night. Overall the stay was nice and I'd be happy to return."
