Hotel was quite nice, room was clean and tidy, you can see the hotel is being renovated,
Staff was all very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely stay there again,
Parking was good, plenty of spaces and places to park.
Staff helpful
It was clean but no frills.
I had no hot water but they fixed it and the water was hot then cold.
They have no place to eat and finding a good take away to deliver was challenging. I was in a large van so hard to pop out to get food.
Very basic
Comfy room in good condition and clear. Was a convenient location and a good nights sleep

Hotel was old, worn, dirty and cold. There is no restaurant, and no stores nearby to get food etc. Staff was nice, but that didn’t save the experience.

No heating , shower was freezing , staff very argumentative blames you for the water being cold, stinks of weed and voist , front gates dont open until 7am so if you have work early its no good , wont give refund , kettle full of limescale , walls paper thin you can hear the people in the room next to you on the phone can hear the next
Room was clean and good size , the bed was comfortable , everything you need for 1 night. Could do with nets on windows .

Rooms are basic but clean. All linen provided (towels/sheets etc) clean. Room had recently been redecorated. Furniture could do with updating. Tea/coffee/biscuits provided. Tv with all channels. Loads of free parking. Staff helpful. It’s not luxury but you get what you pay for. We wanted convenience to be close to family and it was fit for purpose.
