voco Oxford Spires by IHG
Room was nice and spacious, very clean with nice amenities. Only downside was how loud the other guests were during our stay, there was quite clearly a party happening until 2am which kept us up. Only other tiny thing was there were no bins or bin bags in our room for rubbish.
