I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and well-equipped, though I opted for a deluxe upgrade for an extra £20. The cleaning team, especially the ladies on the 3rd floor between 25-27th of June, truly deserve recognition for their hard work. The location was convenient, with a lounge area and proximity to the grand theatre, but a downside was being charged for parking. Unfortunately, some dining options were limited, but the golden malted waffles were a delight.
