Exactly as expected

Liked:Modern and comfy rooms and service was very nice
Disliked:I picked the location specifically for access to the Uni but if I was on a city break, it wouldn’t be the right location. Lots of students hanging out around the public areas.

Liked:In a great location, not too far to walk or catch public transport- some great restaurants around. Comfortable and clean, with good amenities.
Disliked:If you have to check in late, you have to phone and don't have access to the building until this process is completed. I was travelling by myself and didn't feel safe providing my details outside on a busy Friday night.
