The location and parking were perfect for us. We found the staff welcoming and supportive on arrival, including sorting out a problem they had with the room key card system. The continental breakfast was very good and there was the option of a cooked breakfast if we had desired it.
The room was spacious and had good seating and a table which we liked. The bathroom, however, was disappointing as clearly it needs updating. The over sink light wouldn't switch on, there was a lot of mould on the bath sealant and an inadequate shower screen that didn't stop water pooling on the floor.
When I arrived there was no one at reception. after a wait of approximately 6 minutes a young man appeared and gave me the key card. I went up to the room and I found that the floor was not swept properly. The towels provided in the bathroom were filthy which prompted me to closely examine the bedding. The duvet cover had stains on the underside so I decided to turn it over. Also all of the room doors were what can only described as requiring renewing. They were scratched and scuffed and looked like they had all been kicked which Immediately made me worry that I'd chosen the wrong hotel. I found out later that the hotel had been housing immigrants for a long while and i don't think that the new owners had actually refurbished since. The outside temperature when I booked in was about 32 degrees so after getting someone the young lad from reception to show me how the air conditioning worked I asked for an extra key card to allow me to leave the aircon on for when I got back in the evening. I was told that the management didn't allow more than one key. The following morning I asked the reception to replace the towels and was told the cleaners would do that. When I arrived back in the evening they hadn't been replaced at all. I went back to the hotel to collect something in the early afternoon so needed someone to open my door as I had left my key in the room but there was no one there at all. I have mor complaints but no more room to express them. The worst hotel I've known.

I stay here at least a few times a month for business trips, unfortunately, it's gone downhill. Quality of the food, the rooms, the only good part are the staff who are friendly.
Now you pay an extra for cooked breakfast (which I would avoid)
Great one night stay. Free breakfast which was good and fresh. Lots of free parking. Friendly and helpful check in staff and good sized room!
Considering it was about £55 for a night, I was happily surprised by the quality of my stay.
We were in room 3 which was immediately above the kitchen extractor fan, the noise of which made sleep impossible. The quality of the breakfast was very poor.

The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to do all that they could. However, the rooms are in need of some work, the heating, ceiling tiles, sofa’s that aren’t worn out, etc. This would make the hotel a truly lovely place to stay.
It was a nice room very clean and tidy the only down fall was i could not get much sleep as there was a outside light on lighting up half my room coming from the kitchen down stairs , allso the room come with breakfast that i did not get that i was told on a Sunday its from 8am but in the welcome book in the room it said its from 7am or you can get a takeaway breakfast but the staff never told me this when i booked in
WE HAVE STAYED 3 TIMES NOW AND HAD NO PROBLEMS BUT THIS STAY ON THE 13TH JANUARY THERE WERE CRISPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR ROOM WE FOUND A BOTTLE OF TOMATO KETCHUP IN ONE OF THE DRAWS AND A PAIR OF ROPY MENS SOCKS ON ONE OF THE CHAIRS, AND THE HOTEL AND ROOM WAS COLD NO HEATING WAS ON .
The staff were lovely. The room was clean and modern but there was no hot water, on reporting this, I was told you have to let the water run for about half an hour. I had a Luke warm shower and the water never got hot. The restaurant was closed for the week for cleaning so dinner was not available. Both of these issues should have been listed as conditions before we booked.
