Some good things to say about the Royal Clifton, and others not so good.
Good points: comfortable room, good breakfast, convenient location.
Not so good: Car parking was an extra £5 (not stated on website), no early check-in available (arrived a little earlier than expected and asked at reception on off chance, but was told I'd have to go away and come back). Also a bit of a disturbance in the hotel involving some other guests, who were noisy at night and which ended up with the police being called. That wasn't the hotel's fault though. Also leisure facilities not currently open
