When we stayed overnight, the hotel was undergoing renovations in areas, which, without sounding too negative, it does need it from the age of the property, but we can appreciate they are undertaking this while still trying to operate the business. The staff were lovely and helpful throughout. The accomodation is located primarily in a courtyard area, which has a unique feel. We did have to be moved rooms as the new heating in the room we were allocated wasn't working. I did like the first room for the huge amount of space, but the second had a nicer bed and working heating, so it was certainly a well received swap. Even so, the entry walls are stripped of wallpaper, signs of a work in progress, hopefully something that will be sorted before next year. The rooms do have a microwave and fridge, so you do have facilities to cook and store food, which is a rare treat. We had a peaceful night's sleep and an easy checkout, which is always key to a good stay. The hotel location is right in the middle of the Gloucester shopping district, so you do have easy access to eateries and retail. Despite renovations, I would still recommend the place for location, facilities and friendliness.
