"Efficient and friendly staff at reception, made check in easy. Stayed in a double room which had tea and coffee available, but no biscuits though. Good size desk for working on, with plenty of sockets including USB points as well as more socket/USB by the bed, which is always handy. wifi had a very good signal and easy to connect to. Fridge, iron, ironing board, safe and hair dryer also in the room. Shower was ok, large area but could be more powerful. Water was hot and bottles of soap/shampoo were available, although the soap was empty so I would recommend checking before taking a shower. A good size Buffet Breakfast was available with a good selection of items, but as seems to be normal these days, the temperature was warm rather than hot for the food. Very clean room, as well as communal areas, and an efficient A/C unit in the room too. Large TV with good selection of channels. The only real issue is that there is no parking or discount available. Trinity is close by but at £38+ for overnight, it was nearly half the cost of the room."
