Disliked: Amenities
The room was nice but the building is an Indian wedding venue
The restaurant only serves Indian food an no bar l
The breakfast comes in a takeaway bag not worth bothering with an overcooked cheese toasty
2 weddings on during our stay so car park was like a Car meet
Wouldn’t stay again
Only a couple of points.
1) The shower/bath could have done with a grab handle to assist getting out.
2) The toilet seat is a bit high. One of us had dangling feet when sat on the seat!
Overall our stay was good.

Although the hotel was nice, we had a super king bed which was our we like it, breakfast was crap and the shower pretty much didn’t even run very low pressure. And you have to pay for park which is £2.50.
The stay overall was fine, but, we arrived late in the evening, and the windows in the room were open - on a chilly evening, and we couldn't get the heating to work. And the water pressure in the shower was very poor, which was a major disappointment, as the actual shower looked very inviting..

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were courteous and super helpful and efficient. The Indian restaurant was superb. The hotel cleanliness left a bit to be desired in terms of the exterior which wasn’t swept, with cigarette butts all around and rubbish not picked up. I changed rooms because the one I was given was not clean. It could be so nice with just a few details taken care of.
Desk staff were friendly. Room was tidy but needed freshening ie paint, stains on the chair. Bed was hard which hubby liked but I didn’t. We were woken up at 3 am with shouting outside. Then again at 7 with what sounded like a washing machine next to our room. Couldn’t get back to sleep. It did the job of somewhere to stay for the night but we won’t be returning.
