My wife's birthday treat so we could eat at Cote and relax with pool and jacuzzi. On arrival informed pool was out of action but might be back on later. In the room was a birthday card and chocs from the hotel and 2 free drinks at the bar. After a nice evening at Cote we settled down but noticed just a coffee machine on show. It was 5 am and no reply from room service or the desk. So we had to drink pink wine.. 8.30 dressed and visited the desk. Told the Pool was back on and that tea and milk were in a cupboard under the TV. Back to the room and found tea facilities in a cupboard.. visited Pool but it was very cold .. sauna and jacuzzi were good. So would I return.. after all the drama. .. Absolutely .. after all location is perfect for Xmas market, shops and Cote. and now I know where they hide the tea and kettle.

I was a bit dubious when booking this hotel, having read some reviews, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel was busy, but there was ample parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Short walk from the Quay, Cathedral and town centre. Would definitely recommend and would definitely book to stay again.

Late arrive no room service mixed message about when it finished. It was OK but not great... Can be drematicaly improved for little cost. Example... The information sheet given at reception is the 'cheep' yellowish type it just smacks of penny pinching for the cost of quality even if recycled it could be better. I slept very well as it was quiet and comfortable. Bathroom was good quality and v. clean

Room was old, mattress needs to be replaced. Restaurant staff were lovely. Once again we got caught with no breakfast included due to booking through Expedia. At £16.95 it was to expensive so walked up to the High street and bought groceries as there was a fridge in the room.

This hotel looks very impressive when you enter. The staff were all very nice and the common areas / restaurant all looked good. Our room was a great size with king sized bed and sofa bed. Unfortunately one of the curtains was hanging off and the air con didn’t work, luckily we had a fan and the windows opened. The bedrooms need some maintenance and deep cleaning. I would stay again but this hotel could be so much nicer. We used the pool and had breakfast, both very good.
