Stayed here for 1 night on a Saturday. Right on the main street for nightclubs so it was noisy u til the small hours of the morning, followed by the clean up operation and lots of moving vehicles. The room carpet was disgusting, and there was a trail of blood running through the corridor for about 30 metres. Not a pleasant stay at all. Bed was comfy though, and the shower room did it's job!

City center yes but no information in advance about parking, had to pay at a car park further away. Lots of flirting between female staff and road workers who seem to be frequent visitors sometimes annoying customers.

Great stay
I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting much for a 2 star hotel but there was no issues really, the hotel is in a great location right in the city centre, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was perfect and the rooms were ok too, the only slight issue was a slight smell in the room when you first walked in this included the corridors too but I suppose due to the hotel being pet friendly this is to be expected but great stay.
