I enjoyed my stay and found it very relaxing. The only recommendation is to paste a description in the lift to help guests find their way around

Clayton Hotel Leeds
Looks fantastic however, a little bit of style over substance here. Good in the bar was ok but expensive. The room looked great but few plugs and no USB sockets. The bathroom had a shower from 1982 and a shower curtain from the same decade. Nowhere to put any toiletries and no fan in the bathroom ...
