I didnt like the horrible corridoe area to my toom also the carpark right close . My room was not book when i arrived on Friday at 3pm book kn and my friend was on a different floor to me a d not managing her mobility. The younf staff member Yulinia was most helpfulin assisti my friend and myself .i did manage to get a change of room close to mu friends , however this wasn't a double bed as requested . Furthermore it had no heating on at all and the phone did not work so i could not let them know. I'm 70yrs old with arthritic problems and was not about to start getting dressed to trail back downstairs and up otger stairs. Apparently , there were many other customers who had no heating or hot water, sone who had complained others i no off didnt. I complained to receptionists Adam who was most helpul and understanding . however i cannot say,as much for his manager who was giving him a hard time about refunding money. He was actually aggressive and unprofessional in his manner toward his staff. I only received £55 for a refund which i do not think was good enough and the manager made no attempt to apology.

Situated well for shopping, dining out and theatres. The room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was tasty. Parking was available across the road at the Omni Centre - getting a code from the hotel to pre-book into the car park reduced the cost.

We had a great stay, although there are pros and cons. We stayed here with our kids, 5yo and 9mo old. We assumed there will be a microwave and a fridge in the room just like every holiday inn in the US but they don’t. That was our mistake. We needed a microwave to sterilize my baby’s bottles and the staff were very helpful to let us use their microwave. The hotel has a lift but there are additional 4-5 steps stairs to get to the actual floor. So if you have a stroller or heavy luggage, you’re gonna have to carry it up/down the stairs. Also, the main entrance has stairs. Overall, customer service was great. Everyone was very helpful and our room was clean.
