The overall condition of the hotel needs to be updated. It is tired and needs new carpeting and decorating throughout. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and had something for everyone on offer. The staff were brilliant and extremely helpful.

My expectations were high, I was disappointed. Reception staff were varied in relatability. All helpful but there’s a clear hierarchy, amongst members. I had an issue with a shower light not working, three times I enquired. To be told needs a new part and I could change rooms. The first night not offered that as there was no space. I wasn’t recognised as an IHG MEMBER by initial team member. So I missed out on their goody bag offering. My request for room on lower level and close to lift not honoured although I was told it was. Room was dowdy, especially in the bathroom. Excellent mobility shower. Large and a seat. Clean towels daily. (4 night stay) FREE PARKING, is the bonus here. INCLUSIVE BREAKFAST, but make sure you take a bag to pack. Food can go quickly. No change up each day but lots offered. Replenishing is laboured.

The staff were helpful but the room was not clean. The underside of the rails and sink had stuff on them. They also didn't offer any suggestion or tempary lighting when the area had a power cut. I am handicapped and was on the first floor. During checkout the elevator did not work. I had to use the stairs. No help was offered.

Weekend stay

Plenty of parking at the hotel that was free. Breakfast was plentiful and room was large. Beds were comfortable. Only thing - our room was next to the main road which was noisy during the night with cars racing up and down.

It is a nice place to stay. Was greeted very friendly on check in and all the staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was brilliant. The room was nice and clean and tidy. Unfortunately which is out of the staffs control was other guests above us banging most of the time. When we eventually had enough we called down to reception abd they sorted it out. No more banging 😉. So yes very good experience and would most definitely come back here.
