The room was adequate, could have done with a bedside lamp, the tap was loose, the quilt was not adequate and no bath towel
Breakfast was basic, no attendant , and could have done with some low music

Great for Parties!
Venue Ideal for holding Weddings, Parties etc
Just about a 3* hotel as no bar or restaurant and breakfast is minimal with a kettle to make your own coffee.
I cannot fault the staff who were friendly and helpful.

Staff were all warm and welcoming, and the room was nice. The aircon in the room worked very well as did the shower in the bathroom, but the only downsides were the uncomfortable pillows and the lack of soundproofing in the rooms.

beautiful hotel inside
Saw the hotel was in an industrial estate and my heart sank. However, everything changed once we'd entered it. Very polite staff, excellent service, very clean rooms and beautiful breakfast room.

Nice hotel with good decor. In-house caterer can provide indian room-service meals which are tasty. Convenient location if driving, or a 10-20 minute walk from restaurants and shops. Parking can be very tricky during events.

My room was next to a dumpster company, they made a lot of noise early in the morning.I could not sleep well after a long trip.
Room 221 should not be rental out on Nobody…. Not even a dog! The noise is too much, especially early in the morning.
