Tired and basic but clean and cheap.

Big room that was clean but basic and looking rather tired. Fine if you just need a bed for couple of nights, but not for a long family stay.

Don’t do it

The stay was awful, the room was massive, freezing cold, took all night for it to warm up, the room was very dated and scruffy, old wardrobes, very old couch that I wouldn’t of let my dog sleep on, bedding was clean but with a hole in top duvet, the breakfast was horrendous, we ordered two cooked English breakfasts, not two minutes later they came out, the food was I would say warm at best, bland with no taste, a minute later he brought the toast, this was stone cold hard and had not seen heat for some time. We were also placed next to the front entrance which was very noisy, the doors just slammed shut all night long. They said you can eat at the pub that’s on sight, it was as rough as something out of the film road house but at least the food was mostly edible and hot. Needless to say we would not stay here again if you were paying the bill, if I were you I would remove it from your service as this will reflect on you very badly.

Hotel very run down and dated decor. Had to phone hotel to get somebody to come to the reception to check in. I thought we had already paid on booking through the app only to be told that we had to pay at receptionist again. Overall experience ok as it was just a place to sleep one night, wouldn’t want to stay any longer.

Nice hotel clean, friendly staff, the only thing I I didn't like was the fact my room was right next to the hotel entrance, so the exterior lighting is on 24/7, so light shining into the room, rooms like this need blackout blinds which I'm sure i read that this room had, but it never
