A handy tip is that you can park overnight (6pm-8am) on the street right opposite the hotel for free, spaces are limited but I got one for both of the nights I stayed. Even if you pay for a few hours, it's cheaper than £20 per night the hotel charges."

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"
