| Good Points:
20 mins from my course venue |
| Bad Points:
booked a double room and got twin bedded. In a room at the back of the hotel and a noisy fan kept me awake |
| Further Comments: In general I find the hotel comfortable. Ordering food was difficult, as i was told what i couldnt order which seemed nearly a third of the menu. Check in was difficult regarding credit card authorisation on this occasion, having no problems the previous 3 times i have stayed at the hotel. I have referred 2 of my colleagues who have stayed at the hotel in the last 3 weeks. |

key card kept stopping working |
| Further Comments: easy to find, clean large room. polite staff, comfy bed. Decor in good repair but i know the hotel is quite new so time will tell on this...my only moan apart from the keycard is that breakfast is not included in the price. |

| Good Points:
rooms were comfortable and spacious |
| Bad Points:
booking in not the right name and did not know which room I had boooked and wrong room prices on arrival normally I would book through intell and I feel u would have charged full rate for the stay so not overly impressed with service |
| Further Comments: when I have booked my stays with other hotels I have never had the problem with a different name and address when I pointed this problem out on arrival I was told this problem would be sorted. I cant submit my expenses in someone elses name can you. unfortunately you will not be on top of my list for further bookings |

| Good Points:
Clean rooms comfortable. |
| Bad Points:
Expensive for the type of hotel -- I use Sleep Inns in North America and this was very pricey -- Internet access cost prohibitive would probably not stay there again because of room cost + internet cost |
| Further Comments: Nice hotel too expensive |

| Good Points: Good value all round. Breakfast was excellent |
| Bad Points: Nothing to dislike apart from location |
| Further Comments: Confirmation of my booking came through with no information. I had to re visit website and try to remeber what hotel I booked. Hotel was under staffed on the night of our stay,but, was only a minor issue as Aga on reception was very efficient. Hospitality after midnight was excellent. Breakfast and check out was very good. |
