The location was amazing with dining and shopping nearby and access to both National Rail and local transport. We slept well and were able to leave our baggage in a secure locker allowing us to have a few extra hours to explore before our train on checkout day. They were renovating when we stayed but it seems every effort was made to avoid interfering with guests."
