Excellent Central Stay

The hotel's proximity to Oxford Road was convenient. I found the room to be quite large. The bed offered a comfortable sleep, and the bathroom was well-appointed. Breakfast provided a satisfying start to the day, offering multiple options.

I experienced a slight issue with the room's temperature, it felt a little too warm for my preference. This minor inconvenience did not significantly detract from my overall positive experience, the staff could look into options to make this better.
