The hotel itself is okay and probably 3 star but the fact that they make you pay £5 to park is just so tacky and underhanded. I have never stayed anywhere where we had to pay for parking and I find this a bit easyjet. Also they never stated that there was a £5 parking charge prior to booking. Disapointed. More

We travelled by train to join our cruise ship the next morning. This hotel was ideally situated right opposite the central station. So no need to get transport. Its just a short walk into the town centre and a stroll across the car park you can see all the cruise liners in dock with lots of small restaurants nearby. The... More

Ate as part of a function - 100 people in total. You therefore expect the food to be less agreeable than choosing a la carte - it's as much about convenience for the chef feeding that number. Food was perfectly edible, hot and tasty so in that respect it was adequate, but it didn't set the world alight. really pleased... More
