    Hotel is a great location , 15 minute walk from city centre. Its handy with the pool & Gym facilities on site. Staff very helpful at pool reception. Reception staff very helpful when I needed to adjust booking over the phone. Restaurant staff fairly prompt. They forget the small details when setting tables . I.E refilling sugars/butters/milk/spoons... Over all we had a great experience would recommend people to stay.
