Not a nice experience.

There was an overwhelming odour of cigarette some in the room, we advised the lady on reception, who seemed to acknowledge this (really can't understand why?) and gave us some room freshener. As I suffer from asthma, i didn't sleep well at all. The smoke detector in the room was covered up with a bag (have picture), which really concerned me. The whole hotel was very untidy, stained carpets, musty odour, need a good bit of TLC and lick of paint everywhere. A very unpleasant experience all round.

Staff are great and very hospitable. Suite style rooms are large but ours needed a deep clean in the bathroom and around the dusty furniture. The TV reception was a bit hit or miss if you walked nearby it. A mix of old and new furniture, the bed was super comfy

The central location makes it ideal to find anything needed and parking very easy/convenient. Even calling the contact number early morning was met with a sleepy but cordial response. Also nice to hear about the “receptionist”, barman and information supplier’s enthusiastic interests and hobbies. Thank you young sir. Strve
