“In my opinion, this is a smart choice in a historic market town. Its location across from The Brewery Quarter and close to the Cotswolds makes it a springboard for both leisure and business. I think it's a plus that kids under 16 can stay free, and the courtyard provides a calm space.”

i appreciated the hotel's proximity to the brewery quarter with many restaurants and bars. the shopping centre was also a short walk from the premises. the ncp car park's location next door proved highly convenient as well.
i found the reception staff's assistance lacking and i had to request a change of bed quilt multiple times because of a stain. the housekeeper addressed the issue once notified.

The breakfast needed improvement. The selection was limited, and some items ran out quickly. The noise from nearby nightclubs at night was bothersome. It made it difficult to sleep. I think quieter windows are important. The lack of air conditioning was also a REAL issue.

The staff were really friendly upon my arrival. They accommodated my needs. The breakfast was delicious (i liked the sausages). I enjoyed the free wifi.
The parking was external with a discount. I found this arrangement slightly inconvenient. The pay machines also were not working (this was a hassle).
