Very limited parking, ended up parking across the water 5 minute walk. Breakfast a little uninspiring, not the highest quality. Decent coffee though! Staff friendly and helpful.

Property was being renovated at the time no notice to suggest this was taking place unable to access some rooms. Key card not working didn’t get the full experience.

Even though the hotel was undergoing a refurbishment, all the staff were so helpful it really didnt matter. A temporary bar was in place and the restaurant was fully working.

Comfortable clean bedroom - good size tv and comfy beds. Clean modern bathroom and shower. Good choice at breakfast. Helpful staff. Very convenient for station and close to local bus stop but a fair walk into the centre of town.

The hotel is a short walk from the station. When i stayed there were builders in working on the hotel but they were not working between the hours of 5 in the afternoon and 8 in the morning so caused me no issues. This is my second stay and its a convenient hotel with nice rooms and a good breakfast

Nice and clean. However i think the charge of £14.50 for breakfast if you dont order it the night before is dteep when compared to normal price of £10.it should be the same. Breakfast is average quality

Fit the bill for what I wanted. It's handy for the station. Modern interior. Excellent breakfast. I slept fine. There is ongoing refurbishment but only in the daytime so didn't bother me. The room has got a/c, it's a bit noisy but i like the white noise. The double bed only had 2 pillows and the duvet barely covered the mattress. this was ok for me but not great for a couple.would stay again if in the area.
