Clean and staff friendly, hotel needs a bit of TLC to be honest. Shower worked fine in the room on day one, next morning after a run there was no water and then intermittent bursts of cold water

Overall it was ok but wouldn’t return

Site was not well signed so thought I had arrived to a private property not the location of the hotel. Bathroom was really nice and modern but the rest of the room was not the same style. Unfortunately the fire alarm was set off during the night and no guests knew what the procedure was so this could be reinforced on arrival of future customers

The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the lead for the kettle could only b plugged in if you took the plug out of the tv. But I believe they r addressing this. Also I couldn’t get terrestrial tv, but that was possibly me. I had to go through apps. The bed was really comfy and the room was what ever temperature you wanted it to be. I would stay again. Although it might b good if they get slow closing doors, as you do hear your neighbors

The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.

This hotel has seen better days . Looks like it hasn’t had money spent on it for many years . Many rooms look like they’ve been abandoned. Outside is being used to dump equipment for road works eg signs cones
