Room had all the necessary amenities and what I liked was it had an ironing board and iron. The room smelt of paint as may have been recently refurbished. Paid for parking at front desk as it was cheaper then paying at machine. Location is excellent. Thank you to the staff for making my stay a pleasant one."

8/10 Good
"Overall, the Double Tree is a lovely hotel with very helpful staff and great customer service. The only downside in our experience was the pillows (1 too small and 1 too big), seems to be quite common these days, but we couldn’t sleep properly on either of them. Also, the food prices are quite expensive (breakfast is approx. £17 and a basic pizza will set you back £21 if delivered to your room)."
