"Perfect location for walking into the city or to the railway station (no more than 10-15mins). Stayed in the delux double bedroom in the annex. Confused as room didn’t match the images on their website. Duty manager informed and he agreed and apologised. For a delux room would have expected more luxuries, the only benefit seemed to be size of room and en-suite. Breakfast options ok, but as for advertising continental options, only saw yoghurt "

"I was very disappointed when I saw the pool - it's about 8m long; the photo makes it look a lot bigger. There are no showers in the changing room (other than a disabled toilet/shower) which means you have to get dry to return to your room to take a shower and wash your hair!
