6.4/10

The hotel rooms were great but slightly dated in decor. I would recommend this hotel to others and would stay again. However, the rooms needed a good clean, and the staff seemed very stressed. I eventually changed to another room nearby, which was quite a joke.

The hotel offers clean and decent-sized rooms but needs upgrading as it feels a little tired. The service was friendly and efficient, though the decor is outdated. The location is good but can be difficult to locate due to its position on a busy roundabout. The dining experience was mixed with slow service and disappointing options. Overall, it's a suitable choice for a business trip.
