Sam

Disliked: Cleanliness
Window handle was broken so could hear the traffic. Paper thin ceilings after a late night out was woken up at 7am by the person above stomping around Comfy bed - hotel could do with a real good revamp, frayed carpets in corridors only bonus is the bar is open 24 hours. Breakfast was average in honesty I would only stay here again for the fact it had a 24 hour bar!
See frayed carpet - not a nice thing to see when you walk out of the elevator for the first time as u go to check into your room!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was dated and hooks fell off the wall when hanging up coat. The beds slid across the floor when you climbed into them. The room needs painting there were visible marks on them. The hairdryer did not work. In the bar/dinning area the tables were sticky and I mean so much so that my phone and cutlery were stuck to it. Moved to 3 tables and all were the same.

Room was huge ,loved the shower with a seat , all spotlessly ckean,sleptcreally well . Staff were all super ,special shout out to the girls on breakfast duty this morning ,they wee kept very busy ,but still very polite 😀 Lovely selection for breakfast ,but did notice one guest picking up bread with her fingers (tongs were provided)and then putting it back in the basket Toaster not suited to such a large dining area ,and located in the middle of everything, needs re locating to the area where the jam/marmalade and cereals are But all in all an enjoyable experience and filled us up for our drive back to Wales Great parking facilities and free !! Would definately stay again ,now we've got our bearings Great value !! Carpeted area in places could do wirh renewing

The parking was self parking on site which is amazing as it is close to the city. The room was sizable and I felt very safe and relaxed as a solo female traveller that is very important to me. The bathroom was slightly smaller than expected but considering the shower was large enough for two people I can't really complain. I did however notice a build up of damp mould above the shower which seems as if it simply needs a taller cleaning person to reach. The person above me was slightly heavy footed which did wake me twice in the night although I'm unsure if I can fault the hotel itself for this concern as they are unable to control the way people walk at 11pm or 5am. I would however remained the people reading this review that it cost nothing to be mindful of how heavy you walk when staying away from home.

A simple budget hotel with everything you need for a short break away. Breakfast was a little bit mess due to the small space and the constant queue near the small toaster.
