Nice location and helpful staff

Easy to find in a good location and the staff were very helpful in suggesting parking in advance of us arriving. There is some renovation work taking place so the reception was busy with check ins as it couldn’t cope with the space, and the breakfast room felt overly busy with little space between tables. Room was comfy and being just outside the city centre meant it was a nice walk to and from the hotel wound stay there again

Unprofessional and not wheelchair accessible

We had requested a room that is wheelchair accessible...But it's the complete opposite, the shower is not wheelchair accessible and the room was hard to navigate. The staff were not friendly or helpful, I had 3 luggages and not one member of the front desk or staff even helped...The only time someone helped was when a kitchen staff saw us entering the building and asked if we needed help to hold the door for my wife since she's in a wheelchair...The room wasn't very clean, there was a suspicious stain on one of the chairs.
