Good Points: Very helpful staff
Bad Points: It was quite difficult locating the hotel as one might not expect a hotel in the middle of a university campus.
Further Comments: A very pleasant hotel with friendly staff, quite close to the train station. My room was very clean and comfortable and the rate was certainly reasonable.

Good Points: Accomodation was very homely
Further Comments: overall stay was very good. only one query, well not a query as such, when i booked online it confirmed the booking in which i assumed i had paid for my stay. however on check out i was asked to pay, which i explained i thought i already had. the receptionist informed me that thay do not touch any cards from online bookings, which is fine, but it was a bit confusing. overall though, very good.

Good Points: The accommodation was clean and well appointed.
Bad Points: For a Superior room, the bed and the room were on the small side. The bed was not comfortable, having what felt and sounded like a cardboard base. The in room book had a menu in it which turned out to be only an adequate but limited room service menu (the fact that it was only a room service menu was not obvious). It ended up costing ￂﾣ42 for a nouveau cuisine style dinner (you know-large plate, hardly any food with drips of sauce squirted on it!). That was crap, though the service was excellent and mature. Breakfast was great one morning, but green eggs and ham were the order of the second day.
Further Comments: A fire alarm disrupted our second nights stay causing us to evacuate the hotel. No problem there. No fire department attended and our safety being left to a couple of campus security officers unnerves me! That policy alone would cause me never to stay at a university campus facility again. A fire alarm, no fire department, no regard for our health and safety. Furthermore, no explanation or apology at checkout.
