Clarion Hotel The Hub
We had 3 nights at the Clarion The Hub. I would fully recommend it for location across the road from the central station. For early staters there is a no cooked breakfast out from 4am where else do you see that. The main breakfast was the biggest selection/variety of food I’ve seen over many years ...
