This hotel is excellent value. I had a room with an adjoining door through which I could hear everything happening next door. I raised it with reception and they moved me straight away - so excellent service too.

Robert

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was large and well appointed. Only tepid water in the shower. Carpet a bit tacky. Breakfast was a nightmare. No fruit for the cereal, tables not cleared, hot buffet was tepid and only mushrooms, beans, one sausage and 3 fried eggs available. All other trays empty.Waited 15 min to get bacon and tomato added.
