Clean and tidy with lovely staff, the hotel had decent amenities but could use a lot of updating. But for £72 a night thats acceptable. Food was basic with quite a small menu and the buffet breakfast at over £11 was definitely not value for money. Id go back but wouldnt bother with the food.

Andrew

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. The rooms are tired and the general Hotel has a 1970s vibe. The leisure facilities for guests are chargeable, you have to pay £5 to use the facilities which are old and outdated. There is also a charge for a towel and a deposit needed for a key for the locker room.. I was rather disappointed to be honest.
