the gym discount was beneficial, providing access to a large gym three blocks away for just five pounds. the hotel also has sky sports on tv, a definite bonus to watch live games. i also found heated towel racks and complimentary waters a plus.
I was disappointed the hotel lacked facilities. It may not suit guests wanting comprehensive amenities. the absence might deter some, even though the hotel's quietness suits relaxation.

this property includes a gym discount for guests. it allows access to a nearby full-service gym, a great plus for fitness enthusiasts; however, the hotel lacks other internal amenities for comprehensive guest experiences! it could use more on-site facilities.

the bar showcases photos of movie stars from past eras. it creates a charming atmosphere for enjoying various drinks, and the food quality is commendable; however, the minimal menu selection might limit choices for some, which isn't ideal.

the location ensures a calm environment, which helps for relaxation. its strategic positioning allowed convenient access to key attractions, though the noise on saturday night was noticeable, interrupting the tranquility; it was unexpected.
