First. When I came in and entered the room. The door was already open and the bed undone. The staff gave me no information. Simply gave me the key and told me the room number. And the noise you can hear from the room, from all the other rooms around, is insane. Overall, very negative.

Definitely not a 4 stars hotel

Hotel pretend to be a 4 stars hotel, perhaps ages ago when they have started.. my experience was not amazing and I’ll name of few things: room cold and feel dump, radiators didn’t work, spider webs, mattresses quite old, the safe out of order, toilet not having a lid, hardly to flush the toilet as very hard to use mechanism, need to push several times to have the dirt drained, old old everything.. I tried over the phone to get in touch with them to amend my booking but they had a bad landline so they couldn’t get income calls, finally someone answered to my email. The only nice thing about this location was the fact that I got there middle of the night and they gave us the key and I do appreciate that. Sorry but hardly will give them 2 stars.

Just needs some tlc

After reading other reviews we were a little concerned, but as we had just booked the one night decided to go ahead. All in all it was perfectly ok, just let down by silly things that could be so easily put right. The curtains had come off a number of hooks/ no bath mat/ glasses or tea spoons in the room and mouldy silicone in the bathroom. All an easy fix that would have made such a difference. That said, the young man at check in was friendly and very helpful. The walk into town was very do-able, so I would certainly consider staying again if the room rate was reasonable.

Comfortable enough

Hotel well allocated; plenty of space to park. The room with good furniture, large and very comfortable bed. The toilet also very large with space to put your personal toiletries. The illumination was not very good and neither the wifi but enough to get by.

Not good

Very tired hotel. Is in need of a revamp. If a place to rest your head after a long drive is what you need … this will do… won’t stay there again but if it was the only place left at least now I know what it’s like. The staff were not that friendly ( especially the night staff) dirty room and bathroom. The only thing clean was the bed sheets. Pretty grim really

The whole experience was dreadful. We had to change rooms because the first room they showed us was just not liveable in….not even a toilet seat! The second room was not much better, dirty and damp. The staff did not care if we were there or not showing not the least bit of concern. We paid for 4 nights without seeing the room…..a big mistake and we only stayed there because we needed to work. We stayed 3 nights out of the four (still waiting for money back for 4th night) and spent as little time there as possible. A really dreadful unpleasant experience.
