We had a great stay, although there are pros and cons. We stayed here with our kids, 5yo and 9mo old. We assumed there will be a microwave and a fridge in the room just like every holiday inn in the US but they don’t. That was our mistake. We needed a microwave to sterilize my baby’s bottles and the staff were very helpful to let us use their microwave. The hotel has a lift but there are additional 4-5 steps stairs to get to the actual floor. So if you have a stroller or heavy luggage, you’re gonna have to carry it up/down the stairs. Also, the main entrance has stairs. Overall, customer service was great. Everyone was very helpful and our room was clean.

Multi story carpark within a 12 minute walk - slight discount for hotel stayers, very friendly staff, comfortable beds(!!) ! The only suggestion I may pop across, is to sound proof the room windows on the ‘ground floor’ (floor under the reception floor) I think they may be single glazed?
