Hotel was fine. Clean and comfortable. Beds are usually my problem. The mattress here was, I think, a memory foam one (didn't look). I had slight problems due to a bad hip but most people should find it comfortable. It certainly wasn't hard/firm. Breakfast was fine with the usual assortment of items. I wouldn't like to pay the full price of £13.95 for breakfast but if you pre-book it is half price.
I quite liked the toilet seperate from the bathroom but you did have to enter the bathroom to wash your hands. The room was clean and contained a couch. TV did not have subtitles so I couldn't use. The wifi in an executive room is free but you pay otherwise. The room has a good work desk in it.
The hotel seems ideally located and there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We visited the Maylower Theatre for a show and didn't use the car the whole time we were there. There is a big shopping centre closeby too.
A pleasant surprise, they got the bill right! It doesn't happen often these days when I visit hotels. Parking was extra. We paid £5.
All in all I would use again. We did get a bargain though. £51 per night in an executive room.
