Good central city centre location with nearby parking available at extra cost. Friendly staff. Tired room that needs refreshed decorating, cold with noisy heating system- not great for good sleep. Bathroom floor not clean. Breakfast offer disappointing selection & not very good value for money, coffee machine broken.
