This is a perfect place to stay over a weekend or for 1 night prior to a cruise. Hotel & room spotlessly clean but question whether anybody likes the new stand alone pod system for registering your stay in the entrance. I have always disliked the wall soap dispensers in Premier Inn bathrooms & this new hotel also has a toilet tissue dispenser issuing 1 sheet at a time!!!! We had dinner in the adjacent Thyme restaurant & the quality of the food was OK but the service was a bit chaotic because they were very busy. One of our party at our table were not charged for a plate of Fish & Chips because it was slow being served. Loved the extra carbohydrate information given for each course on the menu & this helped our diets. We had a splendid breakfast in the John Lewis restaurant in the adjacent shopping centre. Staff very friendly & will certainly use again this year.
