GoodOct 20197.5
Very comfortable, good service, very helpful manager
Car access not indicated by brown sign so easily missed due to need to concentrate on vehicular and pedestrian traffic, so found myself not seing mill lane road name as about 4 metres above road when approaching from south. So land up in one way system which high up signs say is no tnrough route but has a camera. This is very tourist unfriendly, unfair. City traffic managers should be persuaded to come up to tourist friendly standard as normal in uk and eu elsewhere. I am worried i will be booked and fined unreasonably going to one of the cities top hotels as a visitor.

Food and service v good.
Bedroom (120) very disappointing. Dark and unwelcoming. Small window over grey flat roof in corner of building: worst room in hotel? Accepted only as it was for 1 night only. Shame, because service and food were good.

The welcoming cookies are awesome as usual. And breakfast is considerably good to be fair.
The balcony is not what advertised, which is shared and without any chairs or a table. Bathroom is quite small and dated, and the bath tub has faulty design which I almost tripped over. Toothbrushes and slippers weren't there until we asked for them, which turned out looking cheap. Didn't live up to be in the league of Hilton Hotels.
