Not for the disabled
Great Hotel the only problem we had was we booked a wheelchair accessible room which we got but it had no grab rails in bathroom meaning my wife had to use the wheelchair accessible toilet on the ground floor. These little things make a big difference to someone in a wheelchair

Not a great experience.
The hotel was, the room was very small but was clean. I had a shower in my room but would have loved a bath after a long day working. The room key did not work so had to go back to reception to get them reset, I was made to feel that I made them not work by putting them by my phone which was not the case. Breakfast does not start until 9am which is no good if you are working. There was no one on reception at 7.30am to check out, I had to call an extension number to get someone, I rang the number 4 times before someone replied and I got a rude employee telling me to wait as he was busy with an emergency. Not a hotel I would book again.
