I wouldn’t stay here again if someone paid me to

Check in was terrible. The staff member couldn’t tell me where to park as the car park was full. I went down after check in and asked what they had on the menu but she didn’t seem bothered! I ended up going across the road to a sweet shop and had a packet of crisps and an oasis for dinner. Breakfast was awful too!!

Needs some work

The room is really dated. It’s smelled of a nursing home. It was freezing and took ages to heat up. I took a shower to warm up but the water was luke warm. There was really poor lighting. Lots of strange brown stains on the old net curtains and walls.

Nice hotel, staff friendly & helpful! But, from reception, which is modern & fresh, as you head to your room it starts to look tired! The room was ok, but tired, window did not open, so very warm. Bed a bit soft, seen better days!! Very reasonably priced though & in a good position

Room was a little tired - unsightly brown stains on the bathroom ceiling. The bathroom was quite compact with lack of shelving or surfaces for toiletries. Staff were lovely and friendly
