Premises was ok. I have stayed at the hotel before but i do believe that it needs an upgrade as it seem to be stuck in 1970's. Staff were polite and helpful

Great stay for families

Customer service was friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good & offered sandwiches for the morning we left too early for breakfast. The hotel was clean but dated. The bathrooms could do with stripping back & updating.

Somewhat tired and run down

In its heyday, this was probably an excellent hotel, now looking very tired. Not helped by a car park that appears behind a wire fence because of the sectioned off redevelopment area. I understand the council are not making encouraging noises. This is a shame as there is a lot to like about the hotel.
