We managed to park outside which was great very useful. We got there a little bit early but Diane at the reception desk was fantastic. We got all booked in up in the room off to adventure in the Docklands. The room was lovely and tidy. Very neat everything that you needed very warm had to open the window but all the staff were fantastic. Breakfast was great. Would definitely stay there again I think they’re a fantastic location and absolutely brilliant staff. Thanks for a wonderful day Cliff.

Check in was fine but Expedia should know when there’s a disco on until midnight! I had a long day travelling flight delayed so got in at 2300 only to hear loud disco until midnight! Not the best relaxation I’d planned for ! Breakfast is a must ! Value for money !
