Room clean, but very dated. Bathroom modern with modern shower with lots hot water. Had to askfor room change as only tiny tiny window, in alcove in first room. Was staying over Xmas. Staff very professional and friendly. Came back early Boxing Day as car park filled up, I got the last place. When I asked, the receptionist told me I would get my money back if no parking spaces.

The room was fine. A couple of very small maintenance issues but it didn't cause any problems. Staff were so kind and attentive, especially in the restaurant. First time staying in this hotel and hopefully not the last
Excellent location walking distance to everything we wanted. Stated here twice will stay again, lovely comfy place and rooms very clean, very kind staff cannot fault anything. Xmas party nights here are great

The staff are always helpful and friendly at this hotel. The service is consistent and rooms clean.
Breakfasts are buffet style and are excellent.
Didn't have breakfast there.
Room was terrible dated and very basic and over a carpark but the worst of it all was the extremely uncomfortable springy bed.
I don't expect to pay what we did for the rubbish bed we got I would let me dog sleep on it it was so uncomfortable
Come home with a bad back.
