This property was in a decent location - that was the only positive about it. Staff were unhelpful, property was dated and there is no private parking for customers. Big thumbs down.

Firstly the staff were friendly however the issues we had there was probably not alot they could do, the outlook from our room on 7th floor was like a dump, also being on the 7th floor meant that everytime a lift arrived from 36 floors down was so full noone could get in even after waiting 30 minutes. We asked to be moved to a higher floor at check-in but were declined. The decor was so out-dated like an 80's motel and the facilities were like a hostel. The chairs in the buffet breakfast room were dirty, stained and some broken. We were very disappointed.
