Perfect short stay space

Really friendly staff. Lovely sunroom to sit in near reception. Comfortable room with a modern and very clean bathroom. Helpful touch of a much needed fan in the room. Quiet in the room despite not being far from the main road. Helpful that Sainsbury’s is only a five minute walk away, but don’t forget to log your car on the iPads in reception before popping to the shop.

Like to watch fire TV stick. 1st room HDMI port was broken so switched rooms. 2nd room was the same. 2 singles beds pushed together to make a double, which are slightly different heights so not overly comfortable. Average experience on this occasion.

To start off my hotel room smelled really bad. Every time I entered the room I was hit with a stench to which felt like it came from the carpet itself then to top it off, with every flush you could smell the sewer. Although this property is known to locals, the sign of the hotel should be a bit more visible for visitors new in the area. In addition, I wish it was advertised that the room has no AC. Although the heat bothered me, the smell was so much that that’s all I could focus on with the fear of the smell would stay on my clothes. But aside from that, great staff, lots of parking space and nice dinning area.

Overall initial impression was good, Ordered for evening meal and waited an hour for the food although the restaurant wasn't busy. Breakfast both mornings seemed to have one waitress rushing everywhere, people waiting for buffet to be refilled, sausages, bacon , hash browns orange juice etc all brought by this single waitress. Our room wasn't serviced after tbe first night, so wehad get coffee, milk from reception. We paid as much for our stay here as other hotels, where the service in the rooms and restaurant was spot on. I hope this is a one off.
