8.6Verified guest“The location was great, which is why I booked it. I won't stay again because they raised the rate due to a Take That concert. Other guests were equally upset, especially a couple who had three different rates over three nights. I've stayed in better 4-star hotels.”
8.6Verified guest“Excellent hotel with comfortable rooms and a very large, comfortable bed.”
