Arrived at 21:55 with reception closed (advertised online as having 24 hour reception service) - key was left with a letter by the phone explaining how to get to my room.

I had previously stayed at this hotel before it became a Mecure and did not have a pleasant stay, so was a little apprehensive on arrival. What a wonderful surprise - new staff, new decore , clean rooms, dinner and breakfast were also of a high standard. I will certainly stay again when in the area. Congratulations to all. Pat... More

The change to Mecure has seen major improvements & more on the way. The service was very efficient & friendly. The view from the restaurant at night is excellent. Carparking is tight but should improve when the renovations are completed.

Everything was just right. Even though there is some refurbishment going on, there was no disturbance. The best part was the man on the reception desk. Nothing was a problem and he... More
