Enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was simple but met my needs as I didn’t stay in the hotel during the day. The bar had a decent selection of food, had a large well kept clean eating area, and the breakfast was good. Some parts of the hotel were tired looking, shut off and in a state of disrepair but the communal areas were well kept and attractive. Lovely view of the canal from the bar area and upstairs breakfast dining area, but I didn’t get a chance to walk along side of it. The car park was convenient as it was located downstairs and easy to get to. Was a bit of a maze in the actual hotel but you quickly got used to where to go. I stayed on the 2nd floor and didn’t have the best view from my hotel window as it overlooked a large roof with a big metal pipe. Would have hoped the window would open even just a little for fresh air at night. I think there was an air con unit in the room (didn’t try it), but I personally prefer natural air. Parking cost £7 per night (24hours). Staff were helpful . I would stay here again.
