Holes in one of the hand towels and generally shabby furniture. Love the position of the hotel and the staff are very helpful but the hotel rooms are in need of a refurbishment. A pillow menu would be useful.

Weekend break

Don't be caught out with expensive parking fees. Pay in the hotel not at the meter like we did costing us an extra £10, for the weekend. I think this should made clear on the booking site. Hotel spotless, great food plenty of choice for breakfast, helpful staff, seating area nice and spacious.

Nice location and staff.

The location of the hotel perfect for my needs. Check in and out easy. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Great price competitive for this hotel. Very big room. The furniture dated needs updating. Also pillows very hard! I had room 515, and had the report broken toilet handle it wouldn’t flush. They did send someone.
