My sleep often suffers when travelling, but the beds were perfectly comfy; one mattress seemed slightly firmer, and there was a selection of soft and medium-firm pillows. The linens appeared to be microfibre, which I dislike the feel of, but understand many people prefer that over crisp cotton sheets and they were soft and clean, so no complaints. I requested no cleaning during my stay, but all staff I crossed were lovely.
Room: large size, with a large desk, ample power-points, lots of lighting, and was adequately stocked with supplies. Other than the beds, the room was quite dated, with well-worn furniture and other signs of age. I'd seen reviews about the carpets, mine was also patched up and stained with use, but was clean and safely flat so didn't bother me in the least. The large window had sheer and blackout curtains which worked great, although the corridor light seeped through large gaps around the door which I blocked with towels.
TV: Other reviews also mentioned the TV setup: I had no issues setting this up initially on my phone, but it required connection to the wifi and seemed to prohibit VPNs, which are common and recommended when travelling so this feels like a poor oversight. The program also mentioned it would keep me connected for the duration of my stay, but it didn’t and I had to re-link myself every day. I would have preferred a TV with the option to just log into streaming services, as casting meant I was limited on using my phone otherwise. The TV also seemed to turn itself on during the day, which might have been linked to it unlinking too.
Due to noise I turned off the A/C-heater at night., but its controls were very simple to use. On my last night around 3am both the AC and TV turned on suddenly, but perhaps a power surge.
Amenities: The corridors and public areas are exceptionally clean, well lit, cleanly painted and surprisingly quiet. I barely heard any traffic or noise from the parking lot. I used the elevator on arrival without issue, but later just used the stairs as it was closer to my car.
I didn't visit the restaurant or bar, but did have breakfast each morning and while the selection was small (eggs, potatoes, breads and pastries, hot drinks, juice, yoghurt and fruit, with sausage and bacon alternating days) it was well cooked, hot and the staff were wonderful.
The parking lot was well signed, had good access to the doors and ample spots for guests, however there were sharp shoulders and potholes around the perimeter which I had to be mindful of in low-light.
I meant to check the pool but didn't, but colleagues said they liked it.
If I had to make one suggestion it would be for coat hooks by the door: I had to cross the room for the wardrobe to hang up raincoats etc, which felt silly.
Overall I had a great stay and would happily stay again, I didn't come across many dogs in the hotel and heard none, but hope to return with my pup one day.Show More
