Check in after 3pm was great. I travelled by train from London, Victoria so it took around an hour and a half. The hotel is about 8 minutes walk from the station. It doesn’t have its own parking but you can park all day in the nearby NCP multi storey which is 4 minutes walk. To park there is around £25 a day I think but not sure. There weren’t many staying in the hotel, 2 weeks before Christmas, so I was upgraded to a Premier Plus room at no extra cost. Super fast Wi-Fi was included in the cost of those rooms. They have a small fridge with 2 bottles of complimentary water. Also tea/coffee making as usual and an espresso machine. More comfortable chairs and a king size bed. Power Shower over bath and toilet. Shampoo and shower gel were upgraded too compared to a traditional room. Room was clean, had air con which also provided the heating so nice and cosy. Lifts to the 3 floors. Breakfast was either full English cooked to order or continental. I had the latter so it included juices, fresh fruit, yogurt, porridge toast and various spreads. Tea and coffee. All unlimited. Bit pricey at £9 or £12 I think for full English. Served from 6.30am weekdays or 7am weekends and holidays. Evening meal was varied but I didn’t have it. I understand these cooked to order too and table booking required, serving from 5pm. Checkout by 12pm just involves putting your keycard in a plastic receptacle. All in all a good experience. Staff there are super friendly.
