Bad stay

Stayed here many times but will be considering other options from now on. Second time in month or so that no hot water available for showering, windows do not close properly so noisy,especially in the morning. Only one small lift works, the other has been out of action for at least a year!!
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed here a few times now and it's always been a pleasant stay. Comfortable room and very clean bathroom. The hotel is right in the town centre so is close to everything. The staff are also very friendly and helpful, there is also a very good breakfast.

Owners need to refurb this Hotel!

Although bed was very comfy and bathroom very clean, this Hotel needs a major refurb. Paintwork everywhere flaking off, carpet in our suite was shockingly thin. The windows in our room were covered in condensation so all double glazing needs replacing. The restaurant for breakfast was rediculously hot so it needs air con. The ceiling in parts looked like it was going to come down! The selection for breakfast was good though. All in all good service from all the staff but the owners need to invest in it heavily.
Amanda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

All in, the hotel is ok. Definitely needs modernising, but isn’t that bad. Paid £70 for a room on a Saturday night, so can’t complain.
