Had to move hotels it was that bad
This is not a hotel!
It was closed down after being used to house asylum seekers and has been reopened for some mad reason.
do not use this place.
We stayed one night and booked another hotel the next morning.

Booked this hotel for location close to hospital. Ideal and close enough to walk. Booked a small double room which was sufficient for our purpose. The bathroom was compact but had a good shower and constant hot water. The breakfast each day was excellent and when there weren’t many guests, it was cooked to order. Very fresh good quality food and sufficient choice. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I booked hotel with filters which i needed. This was a pool, gym and restaurant. The hotel you recommended and i booked had neither.
Feel extremely disappointed and ripped off as wouldnt have booked. I use hotels.com a lot and would like a refund or credit into my account.

No pool, no gym, no dinner service
Not so good overnight business stay. Booked primarily due to leisure facilities. Upon arrival they weren't available in over a year, but still been advertised on booking sites as a feature (plus over other hotels in the area). Rooms walls were paper thin, no dinner service in restaurant. Only breakfast.
One plus, staff at reception was super friendly and helpful, was happy to change my room on request.
