Royal Station Hotel
Overall a good visit with friendly staff. You need to pay extra for leisure facilities and the the pool is only open 9-5pm on weekends. With breakfast 8-10am the timings dont really work for a pre breakfast swim when youre just staying a night. Wish i had known before spending the £5.
