Good location, but because we wanted a family room we had one with a disabled toilet which wasn't great. The room needed the skylight because the light from the windows was limited and the broken blind didn't help.

They have maybe 8 parking spots. If there are no parking spaces left, you are left to find a street spot or pay for ramp parking. When booking a property that says it has parking, I would assume it would guarantee parking for guests (without incurring additional costs). Also, the music in the bar was blasting until 2:30am. If you are looking to get a good night of sleep, do NOT stay here.

A very enjoyable stay overnight. Spacious double room. Well heated. All the facilities available, e.g. tea/coffee etc. Several bars in the building. Breakfast in the morning was good and plenty of choice. Staff ordered a cab the previous evening to take us to airport at 09.30 on Mon. a.m. So convenient to the airport. All the pluses for a good stay,

Mixed reviews regarding this hotel. Check in was smooth and early check in at two is great. Room is a nice size and modern enough. However there was a fake nail on the floor. Went for food and drinks in the pub downstairs. Food was nice and very reasonable prices. However at night the surround area is extremely noisy so keep that in mind. We were told during check in that check out was 12. This clearly wasn’t the case as he had someone pounding on our door at 11:15 asking us to hurry up. The housekeeping was quite rude here and we were planning on leaving anyway in the next few minutes. An 11am checkout would have been no problem however we were specifically told it was a 12 checkout. I explained this at the bar reception. There wasn’t any apologies about the confusion or anything. Left in quite a hurry after that.

The rooms are very nice, but the set up is odd. You checkin for the hotel at the bar. I had to wait for quite awhile for someone to acknowledge me so i could check in. And when they mention limited parking, they mean it. There are about 6 parking spots jn front of of the hotel/pub and its a VERY big and very busy pub. Parking is basically not going to happen at the hotel. There is street parking but you can't park there all night. Having said that, the bed was very comfortable and our room was very quite.
