Lovely stay and great location Booked a standard twin room although room pretty cosy with a tiny bathroom just about enough room to close the door without hitting the loo However the location is great as it a ten minute walk to gunwharf quays and ten minutes down to the sea Staff friendly and areas all tidy and clean Yes I will come back but will book a bigger room next time. Didn’t have breakfast as they have increased the price to £16.95 which I think is too dear they no longer let you buy a discounted voucher in advance.

The hotel it's self was average a typical Holiday inn, it's situated well with good transport links within the city. The rooms were clean & comfortable. The reception staff were miserable, surly, unhelpful & looked like their faces would crack if they smiled (which I didn't see my whole stay!!) Luckily we didn't need to go near them except to check in & get parking voucher!

One of two lifts not working all 3 days, which caused ‘jams’ at busy times of the day. Coffee machines in breakfast area not working properly each morning and staff struggled to rectify! However, breakfast was good and satisfying. Room was clean and adequate, bathroom quite cosy. Convenient for walk into GunWharf or along the seafront. Top stars go to staff in all areas, all very friendly and working so hard to give good service even when sometimes under pressure.
