solid stay, convenient location

early check-in luggage storage accessible location friendly receptionist
I appreciated the early check-in. it helped me avoid carrying my luggage around. the room had everything i needed. haymarket was easily accessible. the receptionist was helpful and responsive. Their friendly demeanor was welcome.
the absence of a lift was a slight inconvenience. carrying luggage up the stairs was a minor challenge. this could be a consideration for elderly guests or those with heavy bags.

quite pleased with my stay

helpful suites soft beds polite staff
the rooms were very nice, suites were very helpful if we didn't want to go out for breakfast every day. beds were soft. i didn't see the staff much but when i did, they were polite. i liked the soft beds a lot, slept good.
the room was described as a junior suite, but really was a bedroom with an ensuite shower room and a small well-equipped alcove kitchenette. despite the cooking facilities, there was nowhere to sit and eat.
