Disliked: Amenities
The cost of staying in this hotel for a Single Occupancy room is outrageous, considering the very ordinary standard of offering. The room was comfortable. Breakfast was very basic. I met one very kind man working behind the bar.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was fantastic and very comfortable. Staff were very efficient throughout the hotel and we found the bar and food reasonably priced. The food at breakfast and dinner was very good. The one negative that on the Friday night we stayed there was 3/4 Christmas parties which we could hear in our room until after midnight. Apart from that the hotel is excellent and I would definitely stay there again.

It’s a really nice hotel, clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff. I have been staying here every available night for nearly 7 weeks and I can’t fault it. The only possible negative comment would be the menu is only a small one, but not many people will stay for that length of time

A little tired and dusty and thin walls (I could hear my neighbours on both sides and above me snoring, watching TV and walking about). Friendly staff
