Nice hotel - spot on for what I needed.

Absolutely spot on for what I needed. 11am checkout was brilliant meant I didn’t have to rush the next morning. Mackie Mayor by the hotel is brilliant, food was amazing. Can recommend the steak! Can recommend the suggested car park. I missed the turning the first time but once found it was absolutely ideal.

Ideally located hotel for attending a concert at Coop Live Arena. Room was adequate for our needs. Comfortable single beds. Good shower. Breakfast ok but room not big enough for all guests. 2 items were taken from our room. James the duty Manager resolved the issue in a very satisfactory way.
