a very solid stay
great locationcoffee makersitting areawarm room
the hotel sits near queen street gardens, placing it near st andrew's square and the bus station. bus lines 23 and 27 are very close. i booked a double twin executive room. it felt larger than other uk hotel rooms i have used. a tea kettle and coffee maker sat in my room, as did a sitting area.
i found it got very warm in the room. i had trouble sleeping. i think this is because there was no a/c.

My bedroom was not quite as expected. I booked a standard room. The room was in the basement and did not have natural light. I kept the lights on. I was offered an upgrade to a twin room.

The location, a short walk from the train station, was convenient. I found the dinner and breakfast at the restaurant to be excellent. Staff assisted with lunch suggestions and received my late luggage (it arrived a couple of days after I did). My ground floor room, though a bit out of the way, was quiet and spacious.
The room did not have a toilet roll holder, or hand gel, and I didn't receive clean towels.
