Perfect stay

We stayed as we had tickets for the theatre to see Hamilton. We have stayed before and enjoyed it so it was a no brainer to use this hotel. Everything was perfect....no problems.

Not a lot of parking so get there early. Also no kids meals in the restaurant plus the road is so noisy. We were room 511. I didnt see any security and a group of young lads were topless. Lots of people infront of the entrance smoking. I was disappointed overall but the hotel is clean, in good order and the breakfast was good.

Over all a good experience

Easy parking on arrival, friendly customer service & easy check-in. Spacious room with everything needed. Breakfast charge overpriced at £15 per adult per day. Can get quite noisy if you get put in a room facing the main carriageway.
