Hotel on arrival looked great ,Friendly staff. Our room was very dated 1980s feel and two single beds pushed together to make a double not ideal as kept falling into the gap. Mattresses very hard too Got woken very early both days of stay .. contractors leaving for work etc A few tweaks and a lower price point would make this hotel better

Overnight accommodation for business trip.

One night stay, good night sleep in comfy bed, room is a good size, clean and tidy but a bit dated. Staff are polite and welcoming, restaurant serves good food and cold beer. I would stay at this hotel again if working on the area.

Same suite as before. The gym was a converted room with some dumbells, a rowing machine and an old treadmill but it got the job done. Good night's sleep. Fantastic shower more akin to a water massage and a good breakfast to start the day.

Nice friendly hotel

Stayed for 1 night to attend a conference. Room was very large and warm with proper radiators so it was easy to control the temperature. Breakfast was fine not like a large chain hotel breakfast but good enough

Lovely lobby area. Nice suite room though the "king" bed was two singles pushed together which left a delve in the middle. Shower was not great. Breakfast was pretty good and parking was ample
