United Kingdom, April 2023

Loved the friendly and attentive staff, who made my business trip feel more like a vacation. The room was wonderfully clean and comfortable, with great amenities like a coffee maker and complimentary toiletries. The location was ideal, with plenty of nearby restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The room was a bit cramped and could have benefitted from more storage space. , the lack of air conditioning was a bit of a downside during the warmer days.
