Very Good

Second time we have stayed and found the room clean and comfortable. The one small comment is that a hairdryer would be been useful. However, very happy to recommend and would stay again.
The hotel is basic but comfortable beds. The showers are temperamental sometimes hot sometimes cold . Its a self check in hotel with a code to get the key out the key safe. The reception isnt manned 24hrs a day . So check if you really need to see someone. We stay here once a mont ad my son has regular hospital appointments. And the hotel is close to family. Its cheap convenient and clean. We always take extra tea sugar milk as you only get enough for few cups of tea. And with the reception not been manned you cant ask for some more. But there is a one stop 5 mins away .
Basic hotel that met the need for a couple of nights stay, remote check-in procedure was adequate but lacked the personal touch. Adjacent restaurant provided a range of food and drink and seemed popular with locals.

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Room was basic but for the price it did it's job. Comfy bed. Downside was no bulb in the bedside lamp and the TV didn't work, not that it bothered me that much but still to be mentioned as a paying customer.
We stayed here before the GNR. Good location. Room was clean and bathroom is good. Check in was easy. It had a kitchnette which i didnt realise, so next time id be able to prepare my breaksfast before the run. Would definitely recommend.
Good clean accommodation and pleasant staff. The only real fault was the car park needed some tidying up with weeds and overgrown grass, etc which gave a bad first impression of the hotel. Everything in the hotel was perfect apart from the items mentioned earlier.
