mixed experience near the station

loud noise no discount
the location was acceptable, close to the town centre and the train station.
I was on floor 9 and could hear the bass from the rooftop bar. It was like it was right next door. i contacted the receptionist, who confirmed the noise and said the hotel was fully booked, so i couldn't move rooms. i wasn't offered any discount due to the disturbance.

Really good City Stay

excellent standard valet parking helpful staff soft towels
I appreciated the excellent standard of the hotel, especially considering the price. Onsite valet parking, when available, was a convenient extra. The staff were cute and helpful during my entire stay and this. I am impressed by their warm approach. I was also very happy about the amazing, soft towels that the hotel provided.
The lift buttons showed some wear. They were held together with tape.
